Guest musicians on The Bachelor include Atari Teenage Riot's Alec Empire (Vulture, Battle), actress Tilda Swinton (Oblivion, Thickets, Theseus), folk musician Eliza Carthy (The Bachelor) and avant-garde electronic pioneer Matthew Herbert (Who Will?).

ClashMusic.com awarded The Bachelor 9/10, reviewer Teri Williams writing: "(It is), like so many romantic yarns before it, epic - and a whispered breath away from sheer perfection.
