It’s perfect pop, one of the best albums I ever had sent into the show. A treasure! - Tom Dunne, Today FMSublime wash of pop nous and rock charm. A record so good it’s downright criminal. - Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish TimesThe songs are at once effortless, memorable, hook-laden and a masterclass in subtle dynamics. - The Sunday Times - 101 Albums To Love - October 2017His talent was never underestimated before he debuted as a solo artist: A Murder of Crows fully illustrated what a complete artist he is. - From Buried Treasure Vol. 2 by Dan HegartyRarely for an album of such self-effacement, the quality just doesn't dip: like every other song on this vivid, delicate, perfect-pop record, it touches on the elusiveness of love, but Chester nails it (and the rest) with all the certainty and precision of a shipwright. - From 101 Irish Records (You Must Hear Before You Die) by Tony Clayton-Lea
