Pitchfork 7.6/10 The third album from the UK singer-songwriter is unerringly compassionate. Her brooding post-punk is an unsettling backdrop for songs about the refugee crisis, Islamophobia, and poisonous politicians.

A.V. Club B Nadine Shah goes all in on Holiday Destination

The Line of Best Fit 8/10 Brexit, the refugee crisis and glimmering indie rock make up Shah's best record yet.

DIY 4/5 A record that never shies away from being overtly political.

The Skinny 4/5 Nadine Shah's new album Holiday Destination faces down the world of 2017 with guile and with guts.

Loud and Quiet 8/10 The South Shields songwriter delivers an outward looking third album - one which tackles the immigration crisis, gender inequality and mental health.

Spectrum Culture 80% Holiday Destination is a dark response to a darkening world.
