  1. Entertainment Weekly
    91
    All I Intended to Be, the country legend's first album in five years features terrific, hushed versions of Patty Griffin's ''Moon Song,'' Tracy Chapman's ''All That You Have Is Your Soul,'' and Billy Joe Shaver's ''Old Five and Dimers Like Me.'' But Harris can also turn it on in the songwriting department, as she proves in ''Gold.''

    She draws in appropriate songs by Merle Haggard, Patty Griffin and Jack Wesley Routh, but excels them all with her own 'Not Enough.' [July 2008, p.104]

  3. Rolling Stone
    50
    The gauzy country-folk production, full of keening pedal steel and swooning close harmonies, congeals into roots-music kitsch--the soundtrack to a slow pan across a sepia-toned photograph in a Ken Burns documentary.
