      Critical reception



      Upon its release, People Watching received widespread acclaim from critics. On review aggregator Metacritic, the album holds a score of 88 out of 100 based on eleven critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". In a five-star review in The Observer, Lisa Wright praised the album's honesty; calling it "a lonely document of fame, and of a man clinging on to the community his talents have propelled him away from. And where his previous album revealed Fender to be a songwriter of depth, People Watching explores life’s ugliness and finds excellence." Alex Petridis of The Guardian also awarded the album five stars and named it his album of the week, praising Fender's songwriting: "strong on melodies...handy with a roaring, emotive, arena-friendly chorus, and exceptionally gifted with words".
      Critics praised the album's social realist storytelling, with Roy Wilkinson of Mojo deeming it "a poignant portrait of post-industrial Britain – one that’s meditative rather than defeated", while Sarah Jamieson of DIY, in a rave review, noted it as being "unafraid of delving into both the personal and political - and, at times, where the two very much intertwine... an album that burrows under the skin of current society and refuses to dress up its stark reality."
