  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Dawes accent their twangy West Coast sound with glassy synthesizers, slippery, Eric Clapton-esque guitars, and jazzy piano lines, smartly evoking the '80s adult contemporary albums of artists like Bruce Hornsby, Fleetwood Mac, and Steve Winwood

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A beautifully honed vision of an often-harsh landscape. Print edition only

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    The ballads are typically wry and pretty. Print edition only

  4. 6.0 |   Evening Standard
