Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Then they’re gone. Band embrace choir, choir embrace orchestra, orchestra embrace band, but in truth those barriers were well and truly broken down early in this journey. The group that came together in Brighton back in April have been on a journey to become one entity – the relationships and the music has evolved so much simply by them being on stage. Whilst there’s a sadness that this might be the last time we see James this way, the overwhelming feeling is of euphoria that they made good on their promises to do this again after 2011, and that this time it exceeded even their and our wildest dreams.”

Review: Laura Dean @ God Is In The TV Zine
“The addition of the orchestra intensified the emotions and feelings that came with ‘Tomorrow’, which saw Tim visit the stalls, balancing on a seat a few rows in and interacting with the lucky fans around him. The penultimate track of the evening was ‘Sometimes’ – one of the band’s biggest crowd pleasers that never fails to connect the band and their fans. Visibly moved by the response, Tim held the microphone out as the crowd kept the track going long after it had ended and it was both a powerful and uplifting moment for everybody involved. The evening came to an end with a slow-starting ‘Laid’, which burst into the anthemic version that we all know and love, offering a perfect end not just to the evening, but to the orchestral tour as a whole.”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“There’s a magic whenever James take the stage, an unpredictability about what you’re going to get even if the setlist doesn’t spring any surprises. They’re a band that thrive on the mood, both in the band and in the room, and this collaboration has effectively fused an orchestra and choir that have wholeheartedly bought into the band’s ethos on to the already hefty nine of them. These shows may never happen again, it’s twelve years since the first orchestral tour, and 2024 sees a new album and the campaign that comes with it out in the world and James continuing to look forward as a band to their next twist and turn, but they’ll live long in the memory.”

Review: Andrew White @ The Northern Echo
“Booth was at his magnetic best when the climbed down from the stage and into the crowd for ‘Come Home’, walking among the faithful and rising above them by climbing onto a fence to deliver a tour de force vocal. It was spine-tingling stuff.”

Review: Lynne Thwaites and Thomas Jackson @ So.co
“Tonight we’re treated to the hits (and there’s plenty of those!) alongside some deeper cuts. The biggest cheers are reserved for the big three of course (Sit Down, Getting Away With It and show-closer Laid) but the band could have omitted them, as they often do, and the show would have been no less superb. “

Review: Mark Savage @ BBC Entertainment
“The highlight is Sometimes, which ends with a long, lingering chorus that alternates between the choir and the crowd. The band line up at the front of the stage to take it in, clearly moved at the response.”

Review: Nick Linazasoro @ Brighton And Hove News
“We kicked off the final ‘Latitude’ day at the main Obelisk Arena. However, traffic to the festival was backed up a few miles, whereas it hadn’t been the past two days and so time was ticking and by the time we arrived on site we could hear on the wind at 12 noon that today’s openers, James, had started to perform their ‘Sit Down’ anthem. I was surprised exactly how far the sound was carrying. We quickened our pace, but as it’s such a large site that it took us several numbers to arrive near the front of the stage. ‘Dust Motes’, ‘The Lake’, ‘The Shining’ and ‘Tomorrow’ came and went.”

Review: David Brown @ EvenTheStars.co.uk
“Saul makes a point of dedicating Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) to the crew who make this whole thing work, and watching it at closer quarters this really wouldn’t be possible without their skill, expertise and ability to adapt quickly to whatever ideas the band throw at them last minute. The audience starts clapping along to which Tim says they have to be really in time otherwise it’ll completely fuck up the timing – Joe conducts the audience clapping and it all stays intact. They then finish the main set with an uplifting All The Colours Of You, where again the song’s inherent dramatic cuts and pastes of its creation in a studio with Jacknife are brought to life with live instruments before it segues into Many Faces, the choir in a line at the front as they improvise their way through repeatedly singing the song’s core message that ‘there’s only one human race, many faces, everybody belongs here.'”
