  1. Her chin-up ditties don't connect every time, but her abandonment of home recording will win new listeners anyway.

    Achieve[s] the rare bliss of adult pop wisdom. [8 Oct 2004, p.114]

    Dawson tunefully balances girlish zeal with womanly maturity. [Nov 2004, p.132]
  4. Hidden Vagenda is elegantly constructed and outwardly naive, but it lacks a consistent underlying honesty.
  5. Under The Radar
    60
    Delivers deeply personal, uncompromising songwriting tucked into intelligent and clever lyrics. [#8, p.114]
  6. Adopts a fuller, more polished sound than her earlier work, but her songwriting is just as innocent and heartfelt-sounding as ever.
  7. Rolling Stone
    60
    Childlike and catchy. [28 Oct 2004, p.103]
