  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Prepare for very familiar music that you probably won’t get tired of listening to
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Succinct collection of gentle pop-rockers, familiar yet far more strange and beautiful than 2013’s brittle Fleetwood Mac EP
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    The sonic alchemy of the Mac's world-conquering past feels tantalisingly close. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    If you turn your nose up at “Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie” because you think it’s a cosy, safe album made by rich, elderly rock stars towards the end of their careers, then shame on you
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    None of it is a million miles from the plush punch of Mac’s 1980s work

  6. 7.4 |   Paste Magazine

    The songcraft is still there all these years later

  7. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    The fact the musical material in 2017 stands alongside their previous work says much for its quality, even though the hint of routine persists

  8. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Stevie Nicks is the unspoken presence on this album, the lightning you can hear not striking. There's something strange about hearing Lindsey and Christine team up without her, but that just enhances the album's strange impact

  9. 7.0 |   All Music

    While Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie isn't perfect -- and it was smart not to bill this effort as a Fleetwood Mac record -- it's far better than expected, and indeed, they should have made it happen long ago

  10. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Will we ever get another proper Fleetwood Mac album? Never say never with this crew. Until then, Buckingham and McVie make perfect allies

  11. 6.2 |   Pitchfork

    A Fleetwood Mac album in all but name, the two esteemed songwriters bring their signature tics and genius songwriting, though the rush wears thin as the album progresses
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    It lacks the magic tonal quality of Fleetwood Mac material, despite the glaringly obvious inclusion of derivative Fleetwood-esque backing vocal bits in the first few songs

  13. 6.0 |   The Independent

    The classic Mac themes of relationships and endurance predominate
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    There’s enough here to hold the attention of the casual Mac fan, however fleetingly, but diehards should find a bit more to dig into in the brighter moments
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    In the end, an almost-Fleetwood Mac album turns out to be a pretty good Fleetwood Mac album, especially this late in the game

  16. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    When it comes to a full-on new Mac record this is as close as we’re gonna get

  17. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    The PhotoShopped album cover says it all, though, him glum, her smiling: this sounds like togetherness put on, not poured ou
