A lovely collection of Sunday morning melancholy that's as gentle as it is weary.

Paste MagazineRepresents a step forward. [Oct/Nov 2005, p.139]
-
Songs is heavy on romantic longing, but the music is so coy and smart that it rarely feels mushy.
-
Lament after lament, they start to all blend together, and all of Thomas's considerable skill as a singer, musician, and composer can't seem to create any really arresting moments, just a lot of pretty songs.
-
Thomas may have been perfect for a second- or third-tier Lilith Fair stage, a place where people expect slow, introspective, sweet songwriting. However, if she hopes to capture a larger audience, she may want to first capture herself a faster metronome.
-
There's the potential for something here; as of If Songs Could Be Held, it's yet unrealized.
-
Weak and vanilla.
