Ali Shutler from NME said "On his fifth studio offering, Benét expertly takes the past and twists it into something modern yet classic".[5]

Guido Farnell from The Music said "Benét's modest vocals know their limits, but he strategically tailors his songs to suit his voice. Singing about eating a lot of food and consequentially getting fat may seem like an odd premise for the song 'Second Dinner', but Benét’s quirky approach shows us that he knows how to charm listeners so that they suspend disbelief for the duration of the song and just enjoy the moment. Mr Experience offers feelgood respite from these strange and uncertain times."[6]
