The review reads Simon Joyner's Hotel Lives as a gray, resigned record centered on hotel rooms, solitude and memory. The writing highlights sparse arrangements, arpeggios and Joyner's luminous voice. Comparisons to Leonard Cohen, David Ackles and Nick Drake are invoked. Overall the reviewer gives it a measured, ambivalent appraisal.
