reception

Sigh No More was received differently by critics:

Pitchfork Media ranks the album with a rating of only 2.1 out of 10 points. At Allmusic , however, the album received an average rating of three out of five points.

Even with laut.de there is a relatively positive assessment to the conclusion: "As often happens, even this disc loses at the back a little bit of tension and drive. Ideas repeat themselves, the initial enthusiasm subsides. And yet it remains to be stated: a great debut. "

In the German music magazine Visions , Sigh No More received an average of 7.8 out of 12 out of ten reviews. Daniel Gerhardt wrote in his detailed evaluation: “They dig up their songs with a sense of tradition that has internalized country, folk and roots rock, without feeling obliged to them. And they transfer them again and again into a hysteria with which one could become square dance world champion. "Little Lion Man" flies ahead as the first single and the best track on the album. "

The Metascore average of the album is 68 (out of 100) and therefore in the “generally recommendable” area. At Plattentests.de the album was voted album of the year 2009 by readers and critics alike .
