“Beautiful production, but you’d expect nothing less”
- Ralph McLean BBC Radio Ulster

“Matt has just the most beautiful music, gorgeous melodies and intricate guitar work”
- Eve Blair BBC Radio Ulster


“McIvor’s voice is maybe the real surprise here. Restrained, almost delicate; definitely underplayed and not at all showy, flashy or overcooked. Altogether perfect for this track. Four minutes of bliss, ending in a short, sweet fade out.”
- Michael Barbour, Chordblossom


“Matt McIvor’s single Hope is sure to make even the most Grinch-like among you happy cry into your hot chocolate this year. It's a beautiful acoustic number with an even more beautiful message behind it. Sweeter than your granny's sherry trifle, fans of BRIGHT EYES will adore this.”
-Edwin McFee, Sunday Life


“I love the honesty in the songwriting”
- Emma Wallace BBC Introducing
