    Though C'mon Miracle doesn't have the truly standout songs that made Advisory Committee so great, it is still a consistent piece of work that delivers on quality songwriting and musicianship throughout.

    She creates an atmosphere of such intimate ease, you feel as if she's singing for you alone. [4 June 2004, p.80]

    Mirah, it appears, has made the album we've been waiting for.
  5. Splendid

    It's classy, but also honest. Not a single emotion seems overplayed or exaggerated; you'll dance and sway to it because each song feels as organic as life, and the life it documents is nicely lit.
  6. Dusted Magazine
    80
    Her most self-assured release yet, instantly inviting and comfortable, brimming with a confidence that breeds fast familiarity.
  7. PopMatters
    80
    This is the most consistently enjoyable album in her young catalogue.
  8. AllMusic

    C'Mon Miracle isn't as showy as some of her previous outings, but it does show that Mirah's music works on both a large and small scale.
  9. Logo
    70
    Mirah’s ability to paste candy-pop nursery rhymes over voluptuous, macabre arrangements is truly unique and wholly un-matched.

    Her songbird's voice has never sounded more beautiful than it does here.

    [A] ladyfolk wonder. [30 Jul 2005, p.49]
