    The production is thick but elegant, applied with full knowledge that the songs could exist beautifully in a sparse acoustic-strummed daze, but that they deserve more than that.

    Carlile's third album, a polished collection of confessional rockers and twangy love songs, should help keep her momentum going. [16 Oct 2009, p.59]

    Carlile still prefers sobriety to levity but it never feels affected; it's music that gets under your skin and cuts to the bone.
