Lyrics from This Is the Sea
All Music Guide Review
Expanding the epic, multi-layered sound of A Pagan Place, This is the Sea is a more ambitious yet a more successful record, since it finds Mike Scott at his melodic peak. Consequently, the album has enough strong, accessible moments to make his indulgences forgivable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
