Pitchfork 8.4/10 Recorded over one night in 1976, Hitchhiker is an acoustic snapshot of Neil Young’s creative process, captured at a time when he was crafting music strong enough to last his whole career.

The Line of Best Fit 8/10 It’s an ability to take the familiar and present it in dramatically different forms, with the potential for rediscovery that this allows, which makes Hitchhiker – faults and all – a must-hear for Neil Young fans.

Evening Standard 4/5 Ever prolific, Neil Young released a live album and a new studio album last year, both to mixed reviews.

Rolling Stone 4.5/5 Our take on the music retrieved from the singer-songwriter's vault.

The Independent 4/5 A glorious and inventive return from the Mael brothers

Under The Radar 8.0/10 Hitchhiker is the rare archival release that can appeal to both rabid superfans and casual listeners.
