Jul 16, 2020A resounding comeback. ... The best thing Cocker has done since Pulp, and that is very good indeed.
-
Q MagazineJul 15, 2020The work of a man kitted out with a full array of emotional surveillance equipment, its expansive space-rock and cosmic lyrics zooming in and out on humanity in all its rich chaos. [Jun 2020, p.92]

Jul 16, 2020Pushing nearly 30 years in the game, JARV IS... still an absolute one-of-a-kind.
-
MojoJul 15, 2020An attractive ad hoc vibe pervades these seven longish songs, partially recorded live: a DIY futurism, all tinfoil and stick-backed plastic, that harks back to Pulp's early '90s. [Jun 2020, p.92]

Jul 17, 2020his is a mid-career highlight from one of the finest lyricists and sonic set-dressers this country has produced. It’s a little bit silly, a little bit raunchy and a whole lot of fun. ... Simply put, JARV IS… a winner.

Jul 16, 2020JARV… IS grapple with fresh possibilities in a wry, recognisable, but incredibly fresh way.
-
Jul 17, 2020Beyond the Pale contains plenty of sharp songwriting, but despite the intrigue of its premise, it may have benefitted from a more thorough commitment to making a proper album.

Jul 25, 2020Although I have always considered Jarvis Cocker to be overrated, this album is slow but solid.
Nothing exceptional but I reiterate; solid. -
