Musically, the album is more languid than earlier efforts without sacrificing the urgency of her patented guitar pluck-strum.
-
An arresting mix of the singer's political and personal strife set to a jazzy backbeat.
-
Much of Reprieve sounds, appropriately enough, like DiFranco is taking a much-needed breather.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's beautifully committed music--the kind that's as essential now as it has ever been. [11 Aug 2006, p.67]

Reprieve may not court new members to the Church of Ani, but it may well be one of those albums that fans hold up as an underappreciated favorite in the years to come.

UncutReprieve is probably the easiest album to listen to that she's ever made. [Oct 2006, p.104]
-
The downside of Reprieve is that it isn't as musically arresting as earlier albums like Out of Range, and DiFranco, on a song like "Millennium Theater," can be rather obvious.
