  1. Rolling Stone
    60
    Childlike and catchy. [28 Oct 2004, p.103]
  2. Adopts a fuller, more polished sound than her earlier work, but her songwriting is just as innocent and heartfelt-sounding as ever.
  3. This approach leads either to a powerful, palpable intensity that's unremitting, or to a suffocating bathos that's maddeningly distracting from the words of the songs themselves, which ultimately prove inventive and compelling by anyone's standards.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    Delivers deeply personal, uncompromising songwriting tucked into intelligent and clever lyrics. [#8, p.114]
