"One of the best bands to emerge on the folk scene for a long time... streets ahead from the newer, younger upstarts. Now Mumford have paved the way for jangly rhythmic folk to be played on Radio 1, perhaps everyone else will now sit up and listen properly." Maverick
"On This Island is a gorgeous collision of ideas, sounds and words that never manages to become quirky despite itself. If we are ever on that island, then this is the only disc we'll really need. " The Music Fix
"a magpie's nest of jagged rhythms, baroque guitars and seductive pop. If you lived in a world where everything was infused with the spirit of The Cure's Caterpillar Girl, it might sound like this." The Herald
"6 Day Riot are on a serious run of good form. On This Island bring together a wealth of influences that are rarely combined, and it's rarer still that they're melded together with such confidence and innate talent. It's bewitching in a totally non-sinister sense and the slide the album makes from start to finish is wonderfully pitched, paced, and conceived. Just get it." The 405
