Praise for The World at Night (2020)

Vice:

 'The World at Night' is a shockingly good record. It will give you goosebumps; it will make you gasp; it might make you cry. The album feels, above all else, real.

NPR Music:

 Honestly. I don't say this lightly: whenever the state of the world gets me down —which is nearly constant —I listen to [Walter Martin] and I always feel better.  He finds a lot of beauty and wonder in just the smallest things in life...I think he's just magical. 

Pitchfork:

Martin isn’t naive; he’s just a romantic. At its best, ‘The World at Night’ evokes the strangest part of mourning: when your eyes fill with tears but they catch the light, making everything look brighter anyway."

 All Music:

The album radiates so much care, empathy, and genuine emotion, listeners can’t help but be touched by it 

Vogue:

 'The World at Night' might just be his masterpiece.
