Reception
Шаблон:MCalbum[1] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that this "offers a brief taste of what Collins was like as a performer shortly before [Collins]' retirement" which lasted almost 40 years, concluding with 2016's Lodestar and he sums up that this album "documents a singular artist with a tremendous command of her gifts".[2] MojoШаблон:'s Jim Wirth gave this album 4 out of 5 stars, summing up that with "its own low-key sparkle Archangel Hill stands testament to a musical third act every bit as engaging as anything that went before".[3] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH rated Archangel Hill 4.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "another life-affirming encounter with a remarkable artist" that "once again shows her ability to communicate with her listeners as though they are the only people in the room".[4] NPR's Jonathan Williger characterizes this release as "sagelike, Collins presents these songs as a testament to a life well lived, all its sentimental nooks and crannies fully intact" and ending "that sincerity, the bridge between now and then, is the great gift of Collins' music and underpins the power of these songs that have resonated throughout her homeland and her life".[5] Neil Spencer of The Observer gave this work 4 out of 5 stars, writing that "weathered tones come with unforced gravitas" in Collins' voice.[6] Jim Hilton of The Quietus noted that there was some jubilance the music and additionally, "the songs speak of departure, displacement, pursuit, kidnap, long journeying and delayed arrival".[7] In Uncut, Louis Pattison rated it 4 out of 5 stars, stating that "one of the things that fascinates about Archangel Hill is listening to the way Collins’ relationship with this material has changed over time", including how Collins' voice has aged.[8]
