    Hill lets her vocal gifts soar on an outstanding group of songs. [7 Aug 2005]

    Too much of the 14-track album is sabotaged by corny or clichéd rhymes and images. [31 Jul 2005]

    Fireflies' best songs are varied-tempo singalongs--this isn't hardcore but anthemic country. [Oct 2005, p.138]

    Fireflies is flat-out terrible, the end-all be-all example of how the major labels on music row have diluted the soul out of an entire genre of vital popular music.

    Another amazing album... from an amazing singer.. Fun songs mixed with more serious ones gives this an awesome balance... I will surely be listening to this for a LONG time to come!!...… Expand

    A nice return to the sounds of her 3rd and best album - back to her silky, close-miked best vocally, but lacking a full set of corking songs, some of which seem to be in search of melody. "Wish for You" and "Paris" sound like vintage recordings - as if they used classic mics, studio equipment, and analogue tape to capture a MGM musical vocal sound. Very clever. Mississippi Girl, though, is too self-referential and her duet with Tim McGraw sounds like he sneaked into the studio, drunk, and added his vocal without her knowledge or permission. Otherwise, great!… Expand

    There are a couple of excellent cuts on this CD, which showcase a more mature style and silkiness that hasn't been heard on previous releases. "Wish for You" and "Paris" are absolutely beautiful!!… Expand
