MojoThe bluegrass scene is now offically in touch with its feminine side. [Sep 2001, p.96]
-
A subtle masterpiece...
-
Krauss' dominant balladry sails on a brand of depression that's altogether timeless.
-
Alison Krauss & Union Station are one of the best instrumental bands in acoustic music today.
-
Krauss is blessed with one of the most coolly beautiful voices on record, and she's often better than her material, which is once again the case here.
-
BlenderOn the whole, it's an inventively played, not-quite-straight bluegrass album... [Aug/Sep 2001, p.124]
-
The whole album feels a little too slick and reverbed-out... While there are intriguing moments in the album, it lacks the spark that So Long So Wrong had in spades, and even their few moments on the O Brother soundtrack seemed to breathe more life into the band than New Favorite does.
