Matt 'MV' Valentine
"Charming, ramshackle album that whirls and fidgets round the muddy pastoral fields of middle England; here, a little Robyn Hitchcock, there some Syd Barrett whimsy and Swell Maps pout... even the odd sarcastic E. Smith colloquialism. Nice."
Everett True, Plan B Magazine
"The Message Tapes are played out on an acoustic guitar, but with Leonard’s slightly distant vocal. Containing an off the wall sample and his dry, infectious picks, this is just totally compelling material. A very clever and intriguing collection".
Manchester Music
"Music For A Slow Motion Film sees Adam sitting on a rock on the sea shore playing a mandolin while the wind whips his gravelled voice into a swirling echo".
'Careless Talk Costs Lives' Magazine
"Spooky and effect-laden, like George Harrison trying to write his own version of Space Oddity. A round of applause please for Mr. Adam Leonard".
PLAYLOUDER
"A Drakeish air and an English drift".
fROOTS Magazine
"Leonard can't resist throwing something in every now and again to keep you on your guard... it all works brilliantly".

"Adam Leonard claims to have been found in the Manchester Ship Canal by an eskimo when he was 25. I can only assume that someone must have mistaken his music for the wailing of a couple of alley cats and tried to drown him by tying him in a bag and throwing him in. Full marks for the nice packaging though".
