Uncut had a full page review, giving it 8/10 and very kind words. Also has 3-4 Q&A.  Unfortunately I only have the magazine and can't locate any internet edition to provide you with. Mojo reviewed it in less than 10 lines (at their 3-4 column reviews) giving it 3/5 stars. Not bad, but you can read what you want between the lines...

 
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Very disappointed about French Medias, there is not a single word on the regular Press about Tracker even on The Guitarist french edition!! There's only going to be as right from the beginning of MK's carreer with DS, our french journalist Antoine De Caunes and his Grand Journal on canal plus who's inviting him to talk about his new album!! No wonder that he's making only 4 Gigs in France for this Tour!! Really strange!!
But it's written in the starlight and every line on your palm, we're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

This review is very positive!
It's funny how the reviewer refers to Dylan during his discussion of Lights, but doesn't seem to realize that it about Dylan!

A nice review here:

Liked this one! Nice to see he likes those talented girls of First Aid Kit (Sweden).

A short observation by a Swedish paper, freely translated:

I remember a dull concert in the Scandinavium Arena when Knopfler and his band Dire Straits only had one hit- Sultans of swing - to lean against and did so for the next two hours.

Nowadays he has a large private songbook which he continually replenish with nice, laidback stories of life, performed without larger gestures along with a group of responsitive musicians - seasoned with his own superb guitar playing.

Younger colleagues would probably give anything to be able to show a similar musical authority, without losing the feeling of authenticity. A timeless, sterling craftsmanship of a musician who probably finds new song ideas just by looking out the window during the ongoing tour.


4/5
