AllMusic[1]

Earthbound is the 1997 debut album by Conner Reeves. Three singles came from the album, "My Father's Son", "Earthbound" and "Read My Mind". It entered the UK Albums Chart on 6 December 1997, reaching number 25 and staying in the charts for 11 weeks.[2]

Critical reception

Andy Gill of The Independent wrote on 28 November 1997:

Earthbound presents a blue-eyed soul singer of remarkable abilities, not least of which is a gift for writing songs which, like the closing track, "Ordinary People", already sound like standards. Reeves and his producer Grant Mitchell are intimately familiar with every wrinkle of their genre, turning their hands with equal facility to swingbeat, mild funk, gospel pleading and political soul[3]
