- 2001 January 13, Dave Simpson, “Sizer Barker's little big success”, in The Guardian[1]:
- Bald, stocky and moustached, he is the Lee Van Cleef of Scousepop, but a move into acting would be songwriting's loss.
- 2013 March 26, Mayer Nissim, “The House of Love: 'She Paints Words In Red' – Album review”, in Digital Spy[2]:
- In between there's a few meandering moments, but also definite highlights with the bouncy Scousepop of 'Hemingway', aforementioned rockout update 'PKR', country-Americana stomp of 'Low Black Clouds' and 60s-by-way-of-the-90s jangle of 'Money Man'.
- 2014 March 6, Caroline Sullivan, “Dan Croll: Sweet Disarray review – Sleek, vibrant Scousepop”, in The Guardian[3]:
- Sweet Disarray conflates lilting Scousepop and electronica into a warm nether-genre (if the Zutons and Metronomy ever made a record together, it might sound like this), with added sleek choruses that sound equally right on 6Music and Radio 1.
