Twelve Months, Eleven Days is the second solo studio album released by British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow.

[3] At the time, the British press had been ridiculing Barlow for not providing the media the headlines that they craved about his private life, and that his ex-bandmate, Robbie Williams, had regularly been in the papers with his erratic behaviour and party lifestyle.

[4] This was believed to be down to poor promotion and little airplay, and the fact that he had been targeted by the press and Williams, with him citing that his departure from Take That was due to Barlow.

[5] Jon O'Brien of AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5 stating positively that "comeback single "Stronger" was an infectious slice of Enrique Iglesias-style Latin dance-pop, co-penned with the team behind Cher's "Believe"; [whilst] the funky "Fast Love"-esque "Wondering" shows he is capable of pulling off the George Michael uptempos as well as the heartfelt ballads; and "Walk" was a surprisingly accomplished stab at slick new jack swing-inspired R&B -- all proving that Barlow hadn't lost his ability to write infectious melodies overnight."

O'Brien concluded his review positively stating that the "largely forgotten swan song to a glittering career, in the wake of Take That's triumphant revival Twelve Months, Eleven Days has witnessed something of a reassessment.
