Reviews"In a narcotized haze of lounge blues, New Orleans jazz, gauzy retro soul, and understated guitar pop, he has made the most compelling record of his career.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A kinder, gentler variation on the sensibilities he's been exploring all along. With Graham Coxon pitching in on nearly every track, he sets the tone with 'Arcadie,' an understated country-blues number.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With Blur's Graham Coxon on guitar, the U.K. singer and former Libertine effuses a certain wastrel charm on tunes like 'Last of the English Roses' and 'Sheepskin Tearaway'...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Largely acoustic, featuring Graham Coxon on all but one track, and with jauntiness taking a slight lead over lethargy for a change, this is a record that does defy the odd expectation.", "He Conjures an Understated and Fantastical Vision of His Homeland..." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's the songs -- funny, literate, doomed -- which get under your skin....Doherty has a lurching but melodic way with a melody: what a joy to hear him exercising it so beautifully.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The single 'Last Of The English Roses' serves notice that something new and pretty special is afoot here. It's an epic affair that takes its cues from early-'90s trip-hop and ends up in similar melancholic territory to Damon Albarn's London concept album THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE QUEEN.", "'Last Of The English Roses' shares musical DNA with Coxon's bandmate Damon Albarn's Gorillaz output with low-slung bass and slapback melodica tootlings."
