"Thoughts 'n' All" is number 9 in Pure Rawk Album of the year list.

“Yet, for all his hushed tones and softer hues, Wright has still managed to fashion a set of songs that are, in their own way, as anthemic and as rallying as the high watermarks of his old band. It’s just that the setting has changed from cacophonous rock club to campfire singalong, the savvy turns of phrase and wit of yore still evident, but delivered in a pleasing and often disarmingly confessional mindset.”

"Love Hold On" is number 1 in Song of the year list.

“Thoughts 'n' All debuts at number 1 on the Official Indie Breakers Chart!”

“Highly Recommended 4/5”

“All too often, solo albums such as this one can come across as self-indulgent, even arrogant. Let me make this absolutely clear however; this is NOT one of them. It is a beautifully crafted and executed collection of tracks that, while laden with emotion, does not drag the listener down. Quite the opposite. It manages to pull off an exceptionally clever ‘sleight of hand’ by being both dark, yet upbeat; gritty yet uplifting; and would be a most worthy addition to anyone’s music collection. 5/5”

“It’s been brilliant – an experience, which is as good a reason to do a tour as any”

“Thoughts ‘n’ All is an album that truly leaves its mark emotionally. You can hear the journey this guy went through – from the lowest point right through to the happiest of times and it’s this kind of song-writing that really sets him out from the crowd. 5/5”

“extremely listenable, instantly likeable and damn good.”

“Stopping in for a packed show at Stornoway's Woodlands Centre on the sleepy Isle of Lewis off Scotland’s west coast, the likeable Yorkshireman takes to the stage with a grin as wide as the Minch.”

“There are those of us who often wondered if Tony Wright had a good solo album in him… consider it confirmed!”

“The new album was a must. A collection of songs that started from situations that I wouldn’t want to talk about mostly and ended in things I’d kinda like to shout from the roof tops.”

“Thoughts 'n' All is a wonderful album for lonely nights, glass in hand, melancholy on your mind; depending on your outlook it will make you raise a smile, or bring a tear to your eye. Either way, you'll enjoy it and be thankful you did”

Album Review - Fireworks Magazine

“I love the fact that a song that starts in a kitchen can end up as a sing along elsewhere in the house, town, country, planet... That's a crazy feeling!”

“I know it is a long way from the boombastic doowops, whales 'n' dolphins, salt, lemons and limes of my past but why make an album I'd already made especially at a time when the tequila wasn't making me happy?”

“Rather like Tony himself, it's down to earth, unpretentious and easy to get on with. 4 out of 5”

“You can hear the excitement in the music, but we felt more at home than you'd think. People would ask what Bradford was like and you'd tell them to imagine Texas but in Britain.”
