Badly Drawn Boy Born in the U.K.

3 stars out of 5 -- "[C]rafted with care and talent....BORN IN THE U.K. has some lovely idiosyncratic moments..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he sweeping piano-led melodies, Gough's powerful belief in family and his warm croon transform regret into hard-won optimism....A hugely moving affirmation of life."
"Tracks like 'Nothing's Gonna Change Your Mind' and 'One Last Dance' are fun reminders that Gough's whimsical pop chops are still in working order..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "This is a collection of melodic, quality pop songs that lean to the grown-up side of things, with a reflective singer given to nostalgia and the kind of unease felt when 99 per cent of everything seems all right."
