Mojo (July 2000, p. 99) - "Certainly the most polished of his catalogue....[It] begins to suggest a whole other tableau of unexplored possibilities....God, how damn confident it all sounds. He knew how good he was."
Alternative Press (March 2001, p. 88) - "With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, [one] of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded."
Q (May 2007, p. 135) - "Drake and producer Joe Boyd ratcheted up the production from the singer's debut album for this slick pop-folk set inspired by stoned late-night rambles around London. Hazey Jane II and At the Chime of a City Clock offered more hooks than a pirate convention, but mainstream success proved tellingly elusive.Tracks:
