    (8.5) High points include "Good Start," "Smile and Wave," and the inexplicable but excellent "Irish Goodbye." But the absolute show-stopper is the unadorned "Clean Getaway," one of my favorite songs of the year.

    Really quite good, a bit more focused and coherent than her debut.

    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.

    Another great melancholic indie-pop album, topped by Maria Taylor's gorgeous husky voice!

    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!

    Lynn Teeter Flower finds Taylor shaving away some of the layers from her solo debut 11:11 for more subtle ornamentation and experimentation. [Apr 2007, p.182]

    It'd be nice if Taylor went easier on the introspection. [8 Mar 2007, p.86]

    Taylor's attraction lies in her ability to switch herself effortlessly between vastly different styles.
