Reception

In an interview with The Official Charts Company in October 2022, speaking of how hard it would be to replicate the success of previous album Lifeline, RJ said "I know it's hard to do again...you've just got to be grateful that it happened and keep making music..[1]

Favourable press coverage came from the likes of Record Of The Day, who described the single Feel Alive as "irresistibly optimistic"[2], and Clash Magazine, who described Your Money Or Your Life as "ultra-catchy"[3]

The album went on to land at number forty on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK Album Downloads Chart, dated 20th October 2022.[4][5]
