    For a generation coming of age with fewer opportunities, uncertain political realities, rising prices and stagnant wages, West is for the times and of the moment

  5. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    This is peak Lissie: folk-pop-rock with great melodies, husky vocals, and a whole heap of passion

  7. 8.0 |   Q

    Undoubtedly her strongest album yet. Print edition only

  8. 7.5 |   The 405

    My Wild West finds Lissie experimenting but still within the confines of her slick pop writing. It's an album made by an artist who is still top of her game

  9. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Often these widescreen productions are more effective at the most minimal. Print edition only

  10. 7.0 |   All Music

    As the record plays, the melancholy tides of Lissie's tunes are quite alluring, a testament to her sense of craft, a gift that bears a double edge

  11. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Of the 12 heat-seeking tunes, Daughters sounds the best bet. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Lissie’s third album is perhaps a patchy affair, but when it hits its high points it works beautifully

  13. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    Contains her most convincing songs yet
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Gig Soup

    Overall this is all that you would expect from such a well-respected and established country artist. It will not disappoint fans but does not go far enough to make her’s a household name

  15. 5.8 |   Pitchfork

    Like most of Lissie’s albums, My Wild West is most compelling at its most messy and raucous
