Nov 9, 2015This is not just a nostalgic look back at a classic album, but Merchant fully inhabiting the material in the present tense. The depth in these recordings makes it a welcome companion to Tigerlily.

MojoNov 9, 2015These transformations prove entirely worthwhile. [Dec 2015, p.92]

Nov 9, 2015Her inspirational hit “Wonder” is overly earnest, transformed from a funk-lite rocker into a spare ballad. But her jazzy spin on “Jealousy”—with Merchant, now 52, sounding as youthful as ever.

UncutNov 9, 2015While the orchestral flourishes on "Beloved Wife" and "River" are nice enough, it's when Merchant pares back the arrangements on "Wonder" and "Carnival" and focuses on her voice (which has become deeper and grainier with age) that these songs really soar. [Dec 2015, p.75]

Nov 9, 2015Those who are justifiably fond of Tigerlily will find much to enjoy here. But it’s a shame Merchant didn’t take the opportunity to shake up the original album a bit more.
