  1. The spellbinding mix of shimmering folk and shimmying disco on Out of the Woods eclipses her past work.

    Most of the album sees producers Charles Webster and Ewan Pearson buiilding on the bedsit rave of "Missing" and the beatific drum'n'bass of Walking Wounded. [Apr 2007, p.120]
  3. 80
    The ballads bewitch, reminding us that Tracey is one of the unique British voices, up there with Dusty. [Apr 2007, p.100]
  4. 60
    This quirky little record shouldn't lose any old fans and may just gain her a few new ones. [Apr 2007, p.108]

    Does anyone actually take Pitchfork seriously? EVER?

    the voice is back! the most sublime pop record of the year. Seamless throughout...with standout cuts : "Grand Canyon" "Easy" "Raise the Roof" "Falling Off a Log" and the first single...the 80s electro-tinged "It's All True." Expand

    Definitely one of the best albums of 2007, almost perfect. features half a dozen 11/10 songs - it's all true, raise the roof, falling off a log, grand canyon, a-z, easy. Collapse
