From Pitchfork’s Bob Stanley:
“‘Lamplight’ doesn’t sound like a hit, truthfully. No matter. From its heavily thrummed acoustic intro and unintelligible echo-ridden opening verse to the massed harps and a storyline that alludes to lost love and candlelit Victoriana, it seems Robin is unsure of what he wants to say, yet knows exactly how to say it: loudly and tearfully. You get the feeling he wished he’d been born 50 years earlier. Both songs are ambitious, then, but you can understand the younger brother’s pique.”
