    Various guests--including Elvis Costello, M. Ward, and the singer's own sister and father--are fun, but Lewis clearly remains the star, rising.

    Acid Tongue establishes Jenny Lewis as an idiosyncratic talent in her own right. [Fall 2008, p.76]

    The scrappy indie bite of Lewis' early work may be gone and you won't find much in the way of Marshall's emotional bloodletting. But even if it's likely to cost Lewis the affections of online tastemakers, she looks set to charm an increasingly large audience for years to come.

    I find most tracks on this album unlistenable. It's a severely disappointing follow-up to Rabbit Fur Coat. I'm not sure who she;s trying to be, but Jenny's voice isn't built for those high notes. Acid Tongue and Sing a Song are the only tracks on this album I find myself listening to intentionally.… Expand
