  • Summary: This sophomore effort for the former Whiskeytown member was, like her acclaimed 2002 debut, produced by Chris Stamey. Mary Chapin Carpenter and Mitch Easter are among numerous guests on the album.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 12 out of 15
  2. Negative: 0 out of 15
  1. It brims with beautiful, confidently delivered tunes about love.... and all its inherent dangers. [25 Apr 2003, p.150]
  2. I'm Staying Out is cut from the same cloth as her first full-length, While You Weren't Looking, but it expands on the ambition of that fine record and shows Cary growing from strength to strength as a writer and a performer.
  3. Road-testing new material has produced a tight and confident work that transcends many third and fourth attempts by artists of similar caliber.
  4. 60
    Though attempts at Amy Rigby territory ring hollow, a couple of country weepies bear redemptive powers. [May 2003, p.102]
