  1. After two decades of creative partnership, she and Parish no doubt know what the other is thinking, but it also feels like a mishmash of sounds from over her whole career, a flood after the stillness of "White Chalk."
  2. The overall level of creativity bodes well for Harvey’s next proper solo outing, but this one is a mixed bag.
  3. An album of sporadic delights much like Dance Hall at Louse Point , this is a footnote in Harvey’s career, but not one that’s entirely unworthy of investigation.
