The Guardian gives “THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.” a score of 3/5. “And despite the moments that feel de trop, it’s hard not to like This Music May Contain Hope. It is wildly ambitious, in a pop era in which a lot of artists’ ambitions extend no further than maintaining their career. But the end result feels less like a showstopping grand artistic statement than a wild, fascinating, occasionally messy miscellany of ideas. If you were desperate for a classic rock analogy, you could say it’s more Tusk than Rumours, or more Sandinista! than London Calling. Which makes it something of a rare event: you simply don’t get many albums like this in the 21st century, because the climate of the 21st century has led artists to be risk-averse. That’s not a label you could pin on Raye.”
