  1. Throughout, a cutback on shimmery electronic effects results in a lived-in sound; there's a shabby chic-ness to these songs, and also a believability.
  2. It'd be nice if Taylor went easier on the introspection. [8 Mar 2007, p.86]
  3. Taylor's attraction lies in her ability to switch herself effortlessly between vastly different styles.
  4. There's nothing here that feels truly essential. [Apr 2007, p.122]

    Um, what is NOW Magazine talking about? If you can't be fair, don't review the CD. This CD is lighter on the electronics than 11:11 is, but that works in its favor, because it doesn't overwhelm her folk, pop, and blues stylings. And her voice sounds as seductive as ever. Expand

    I had never heard of this girl!...I was shopping in Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas when I heard her album, they were playing it in the store and I had only heard one song when I thought I just had to buy this album! This is a wonderful album! Expand

    The album's got its moments but I'm afraid it's not as good as her first effort. It has great songs but you don't want to listen to it from start to finish. A couple of tracks could have been left on the cutting board and the album would have been stronger. And is it me or did her voice change a lot? Like, easy does it. Expand

    we've finally reached the point where 90s indie rockers have gone completely MOR.
