    The album is really good. I enjoy listening it from the start to the end. It is full of meaning and Lissie knows how to send the message clearly Just have discovered Lissie and I really like her stuff. I recommend.

    This album is much more cohesive as a body of work then 'catching a tiger'. Where CaT had moments of brilliance, it too had moments of boredom. She seems to have sorted this out on this album. Darker but more enjoyable.

    Elisabeth Maurus's second album finds her still awkwardly straddling the divide between sensitive songwriter and would-be stadium rocker. [Oct 2013, p.106]

    It would seem as if she’s making music from a disengaged point of view.

    Back To Forever strives for mainstream acceptance, and in doing so dilutes Lissie’s strengths.
