Critical reception
Andy Gill of The Independent wrote on 28 November 1997:
Earthbound presents a blue-eyed soul singer of remarkable abilities, not least of which is a gift for writing songs which, like the closing track, "Ordinary People", already sound like standards. Reeves and his producer Grant Mitchell are intimately familiar with every wrinkle of their genre, turning their hands with equal facility to swingbeat, mild funk, gospel pleading and political soul[2]

gollark: The claws are metaphors for life.
gollark: The claws exist because they are mentioned in the name. They are mentioned in the name because they exist.
