Amazon.co.uk Review
Given the lullaby that Richard Thompson wrote to commemorate his son's birth ("There's nothing at the end of the rainbow/There's nothing to grow up for anymore"), Teddy Thompson turned out reasonably cheerful. True, when the British folk-rock legend's son sings "It's not so much that you left/It's that you didn't come back" on "A Step Behind", you can hear echoes of dad's droll delivery, melancholy modes and waltz-time signatures. But Teddy's voice is sweeter than his pop's, whether crooning on the Crowded House-like "Wake Up", harmonising with Rufus Wainwright on "So Easy" or even dropping allusions to letter bombs and freebasing on the wry "Thanks A Lot". With tasteful musical assistance from producer Joe Henry's band (as well as dad Richard), this eponymous debut is a low-key introduction to a rock offspring worth hearing. --IBill Forman/I

 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful September 26, 2001

Teddy Thompson has a talent that deserves independent recognition - he's far more than just 'Richard's son' (or indeed, the equally under-rated Linda's son), as this album shows. His songs are deft and the lyrics are as neat and clever as the melodies, delivered in an intimate, warm style that will make a tiny private concert hall of your car stereo. This is a collection of beautiful songs about love and loss and dealing with your own demons that you'll hear in the back of your head for days. And he's even better live. Why no Mercury Music Prize nomination??
Delightful chip of the old block! October 30, 2001

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about buying this, being a big fan of his father...But I need'nt have worried. Teddy is a class songwriter, wonderful songs that have you humming along straight away, plus some lovely guitar work from Dad thrown in for good measure...Shame Mother could'nt make it along for a vocal performance. I was also suprised to find it was produced by another fav of mine Joe Henry...Well worth checking out too if you like this. Stunning Debut, looking forward to more.... Now does anybody recommend Rufus Wainwright?

I grew up listening to his dad and I was worried it would be a poor version of him. I was wrong, it is superb. There is just the occasional hint of Thompson senior but it's none the worse for that. The last track, Walk in the Park, is perfection with a stunning guitar from Richard. All we want now is another record from mum!
A fantastic, chilled debut. March 10, 2001

Having never heard any of Teddy Thomspson's material, I considered myself quite daring to spend my pennies on this album. But it was a worthwhile gamble. Thompson's mellow vocals are the perfect remedy for a less-than-perfect day. My two favourite tracks have to be 'All That I See' and the fantastically vengeful 'Thanks A lot'. Other highlights include 'Days in the Park', and the final unlisted track. I'd go so far as to call this album an essential addition to your collection. Buy it.
