"Mr. Hudson & the Library accomplish at least two great things on their debut record, A Tale of Two Cities. First, since there's no lack of musicians to chronicle life in England (taking in everyone from Arctic Monkeys to Robbie Williams), a newcomer can't timidly knock at the door, but instead, has to thrust it open and stride right through. Hudson himself is as wry and witty as the best, dispensing excellent cutting lyrics that only occasionally admit to some affection.. [..] Hudson has a surprising past as a grime beat-maker, and it's this quality in action that makes Mr. Hudson & the Library so interesting; the songwriting material may not be worthy of Steven Morrissey or Paul Weller just yet, but the production is note-perfect. For those who can't decide between the Streets' Mike Skinner and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, Hudson has the answer: "I'd like to think there'll come a day when drum machines and troubadours smile, when grime MC's give away their MPC's."
