"The album combines an English pastoral sensibility with the sound of '70s folk-rock....They have added a much-needed dose of grit.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "There are moments when their balance is perfect and the Fleetwood Mac tumble of 'Feel It Coming Near' or the parting-mists of the title track keep their undoubted talents in sharp focus.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Smoke Fairies still possess great harmonies and sweet melodies, but they now come steel-clad."
