Generally favorable reviews - based on 9 Critic Reviews

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 9
  2. Negative: 1 out of 9
  1. There's the potential for something here; as of If Songs Could Be Held, it's yet unrealized.
  2. Rosie Thomas is just a little too ordinary.
  3. Under The Radar
    50
    A bland instrumental and production aesthetic... clips the wings off her good-intentioned melodies. [#11, p.113]
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
