The guardian, 2011-09-30
"But the variety and the interest of the music quickly start to pall. There is a dull overload through the last of the four sections, and you strain to hear something bold or unexpected in the development of the musical ideas. And what makes Ocean's Kingdom fall so many millions of miles short of McCartney's best work is the lack of memorable or arresting melody"

The classical review, 2011-08-25
"McCartney makes much of his approach to classical composition being "driven by his heart rather than his head, and inspired by feeling rather than specific technical knowledge". Trouble is, there's no getting away from the fact that in large-scale orchestral composition you really do need the head bit as well. If Ocean's Kingdom were a fish, it would be a flounder"

The gramophone, 2012 January
"It's not Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky, and it isn't The Beatles either ... Rather, the impression is of atmospheric music, with little forward momentum ... Superior souls may complain of a lack of great substance, but that's the nature of much ballet music. What's on offer is agreeably tuneful and sometimes stimulating music ... The ultimate impression is of music with a rightful place in the British light orchestra tradition"
