    [Saloman's] sharply observed tales of lost love and hopeless hopes fit Lord's airy vocals snugly. [Jun 2004, p.102]

    Perhaps this isn't quite as strong of a selection of songs as Got No Shadow, but it comes close, and the music simply feels right.

    Lord performs assertive power-pop melodies… but she sings them in a voice so airy and indifferent, it takes away their punch. [12 Mar 2004, p.112]

    Too often, Lord's approach to her lyrics is overly reverent, to the detriment of the music itself.
