  1. Adopts a fuller, more polished sound than her earlier work, but her songwriting is just as innocent and heartfelt-sounding as ever.
  2. 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.

    Childlike and catchy. [28 Oct 2004, p.103]
  4. Under The Radar

    Delivers deeply personal, uncompromising songwriting tucked into intelligent and clever lyrics. [#8, p.114]
