"Closer takes everything that made [Ty] good and makes it great... this is Britrap at its best. This time let's hope it gets its due." - NME 8/10

"He makes mainstream American hip hop sound as formulaic and vacuous as it really is" - The Times, 4/5

"Goes from strength to strength... warm, wise and beautiful" - Daily Mirror, 4/5

"An engaging blend of articulate wordplay, political suss and gentle humour" - The Independent, 4/5

"Excellent... a delight, full to the brim with hooks" - Music Week

"As accessible as hip hop gets - a Sunday stroll of an album on which his conversational and precisely enunciated flow rests lightly atop his mellow space funk, nu soul and broken jazz beat productions." - Independent on Sunday, 4/5

"Combines a soulful heart with some catchy hooks... will surely put him one step closer to the mainstream success he deserves" - The Sun

"The US hip hop fraternity could learn from Ty's third outing... low on braggadocio and high on ambition" - The Guardian

"Ty's best work to date" - New Nation

"A near-perfect culmination of all Ty's efforts to date... a soulful maelstrom of musicality which could well garner him the coveted Mercury Music Prize next year... Next generation hip hop du jour." - One Week To Live
