“You can hear a lot of history in Paolo Nutini’s voice. The scratch in his timbre and the wind in his lungs recall the most virile soul singers in U.K. history, from Joe Cocker to Paul Rodgers to Rod Stewart.” – NY Daily News

“This is a seriously clever album by an artist who has clearly matured and deserves to have a big hit on his hands. I’d bet the mortgage on this being one of 2014’s defining albums.” – Sunday Mirror

“The 27-year-old and his whisky-soaked words writhe their way around a multitude of Motown-inflected could-be singles, paying homage to Prince, Marvin Gaye, Echo & The Bunnymen, the Beach Boys, and D’Angelo along the way.” –The Guardian

“What’s he been doing (for the past five years)?” wondered The Sunday Times before answering, “Writing the best songs of his career.”

The Independent summed it up, declaring “CAUSTIC LOVE” to be “an unqualified success…the best UK R&B album since the 1970s blue-eyed-soul heyday of Rod Stewart and Joe Cocker.”
