"This time around, her voice is stronger than ever..."-The New York Times
"High As Hope preserves Florence's big, torrential melodrama, but it feels less like a storm than the soft light breaking in afterward amid the sober awe of a new day...Her solitude proffers a source of power, a confidence in her ability to express herself on her own."-NPR
"The ethereal Florence Welch is still spine-chilling in an eccentric new bundle of distinctly anthemic tracks that will have you, too, cooing haikus up to the sky."-Entertainment Weekly
"The most rewarding Florence and the Machine full-length yet...Florence Welch possesses a supernatural voice-the kind that can summon long-buried ghosts, and then obliterate them fully with a gale-force roar."-SPIN
"Intent upon inspiring listeners to dare to dream and to fight through the crushing gravity of the times, to love and cherish each other."-New York Magazine's Vulture
