"Accomplished debut turns personal trauma into musical gold. There are songwriters who wear their hearts on their sleeve, and there are songwriters who hide behind metaphor and analogy. With his debut album, Cian Ducrot sets his stall firmly in the former camp. A former student of classical flute, the Cork native mines personal trauma (much of it related to his difficult childhood and estranged father) and turns it into musical gold. Ducrot’s tendency toward earnestness occasionally comes off as mawkish, but there is no doubting the sentiment behind songs such as Heaven, a paean to his older brother, and Step Dad, a touching tribute with the lyrics “You’ll always have my love/ I know I’m not a part of you, but what’s blood?” (The Irish Times, 4 uit 5 sterren)
