God bless you Nick ! - By: P. Tucker, 20 Apr 2008 
Loving "Party of One" & "The Impossible Bird", I was disappointed with Nick's songwriting on "Dig my Mood" & "The Convincer" & held off from buying "At My Age" for a good while, eventually relenting a few months ago. To my delight I was absolutely thrilled with the album from the first play & I love it more each time I hear it - so much so that I bought another six copies & mailed them out to friends across the UK & abroad! All of them have loved the CD too.
Many of my favourite musicians & songwriters have diminished - to my mind - as time has passed, but Nick is an exception - he's grownin stature, skill & style over the years & "At His Age" he is producing the best stuff of his life: there isn't a duff track on this collection.
God bless you Nick!
Ageless Classic - By: Ian Wood, Author of 'Here's 2 Absent Fathers', 01 Mar 2008 
Some thirty years after Nick Lowe's first solo record & over thirty five years since Brinsley Swartz recording debut that Nick should deliver his best ever album defies belief. Recorded some six years after his last album `The Convincer' Nick has been honing his best ever set of compositions.
`A Better Man' starts the albumin the vein it is to continue with it's witty lyric & beautiful melody would suggest it cannot be bettered until it is by `I Trained Her to Love Me', `The Club', `People Change' & especially `Love's Got a Lot to Answer For'. The covers Nick has selected to compliment his own compositions do just that, especially `Feel Again' which is the perfect coda to this collection.
Although Nick is feeling his age he is facing it with dignity & producing great albums which make his previous body of work look like an extended apprenticeship preparing the ground work for this, his masterpiece.
More would have been better - By: bibliotech, 25 Oct 2007 While this is an excellent & long awaited offering of well crafted songs from old Nick, I was disapoointed to discover that the CD was only 33 minutes long. This view was underlined with an enclosure slip which said that because I had purchased a 'special edition' (I hadn't!), I was entitled to free downloads of additional songs that hadn't made the album. It would have been preferable to offer better value for moneyin the original track listing - assuming these extra songs are good enough!
More often, please - By: R. Lansdown, 01 Oct 2007 I guess admirers of Nick Lowe's last three albums won't need encouraging to get hold of this one, & it has all the qualities of its predecessors -- all the qualities of this rare case, an ancient rocker still discovering things about himself & his music. God knows there are plenty of them out there trading on past glories. We might argue the toss about the merits of this latest, but it's going to be worth the money I should say, & it's great to see people coming across his work. The thing that occurs to me about this one is its 1950s feel, just as 'The Convincer' showed signs of the '60s & 'Dig My Mood' had a couple of songs strongly reminiscent of the '40s style. It's true that this songwriter has always learned from those around him, as he has always been the first to point out -- look how The Band & Jim Ford reigned over 'Silver Pistol' from the days of Brinsley Schwarz. But as ever the learning process has left him entirely intact. Can we reduce the six-year gap between releases, please?
oh how we forgot great artists - By: gozeat, 04 Aug 2007 Nick lowe another artist whom I had almost forgotten, then I noticed he was on a BBC 4in concert. I listerned & watched........fanatastic, a great band & the addition of a horn section for some songs.......sublime! Naturally I went online & ordered the album straight away & I have not stopped playing it since. An singer/songwriter at the the peak of his powers, subtle, poignant lyrics, married to lovely melodies & arrangements. Age has has not withered him but like a fine wine his talent has matured to lend a fuller flavour, I can give no higher praise!
