The single review critiques Paul Hartnoll's 2007 solo album The Ideal Condition as competent but not particularly progressive. It highlights collaborations with Robert Smith, Joseph Arthur and Lianne Hall. Standout tracks cited include For Silence, Patchwork Guilt, The Unsteady Waltz and Dust Motes. Overall praise for detail and occasional epic passages is balanced by a sense of familiarity and some unnecessary guest appearances.
