    Excellent debut record from Irish songstress. A mix of pop, rock and folk at times reminding me of Beth Orton or a sunnier PJ Harvey. Of course she has her own take on things as well. She hasn't quite been able to follow this up but this is well worth a listen. A great live act as well.

    The split personality of [Night on My Side] begs the question: which is the real Gemma Hayes? [#5, p.91]

    It's almost disturbingly accomplished. [Jul 2002, p.103]

    Offers a twisted melancholy David Lynch would applaud. [May 2003, p.120]
