The Music[4]
Sydney Morning Herald[5]

Steve Bell from The Music said "The album's lyrics are clearly imperative but the music also plays an important role, a considered rock backing less powerful than his alma mater but serving these songs well. Throughout Garrett proves as passionate and thought-provoking as ever, showing that you can address the necessity for change and contemplation while remaining completely comfortable in your own skin."[4]

Bernard Zuel from Sydney Morning Herald said "[it's] energised and powerful, surprisingly tender and likely more complex than many expected. If it's short of brilliance then it is also fair to say it's never merely adequate."[5]

Michael Smith from Renowned for Sound said "Stylistically, A Version of Now is extremely straightforward and simple. The focus is always placed on Garrett's easily identifiable, heavily accented singing, filling in the gap behind his voice with the music so they work in harmony rather than fighting for dominance" adding "There's nothing truly groundbreaking to be found on Garrett's solo debut, but its familiarity is ultimately what fans will enjoy most out of it."[6]
