    the unbelievably powerful and heartfelt songs on the collection help define Ida's approach to music; a slow-core, melencholy, yet somehow uplifting collection of pure talent, highlighted by songs such as "Late Blues," "Sundown," and "What Can I do"

    These impressive vocal arrangements suffer when Ida leave them alone in the spotlight. [Feb 2005, p.88]

    Heart Like a River is standard Ida fare: it is pretty and well-arranged and heart-wrenching.

    Autumnally pretty tunes that are also full of quiet gravity, as if Neil Young and a lover popped Valium and decided to hash things out on record.
