    Got the album a little while ago, and as always, I'm not listening hard to begin with. For now, it's just background for work or play. Music, voice, and a few words come through, and as of today, it all sounds great. But if this album is like Get Away From Me, I'd better not listen too carefully to the lyrics or that 8 rating will drop.

    Nellie McKay combines being a little too girly cute for some with being a little too feminist for others, with a dash of anti-Norah Jones piano tinkle and a stand-up comic sense of fun. An artist to watch in coming years - she hasn't quite found herself yet.

    What a fantastic album!!!!! It should have been released a year ago on Columbia, but it is well worth the wait. Get Away From Me was a terrific record but this one tops that. It really shows Nellie's progression as an artist.

    What... is immediately evident is the extent to which McKay has grown as a musician. [Feb 2006, p.130]

    Sure, McKay is a sonic chameleon, but perhaps more important, she is one deft (and witty) songwriter/musician. [14 Jan 2006]
  3. Blender

    Though she seems to be done with rapping, her hip-hop loops and restless genre-mixing still save her from vintage-dress purgatory. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.94]
