    Saw her live in concert, and met her. She is amazing. It is too bad that people tire of good artists like her, Cyndi Lauper and Joan Osborne. American Radio is soooo fickle! I'm tired of hearing scantily clad women with no talent (or talent, but crappy materiel.) Would love to hear some talented seasoned songwriters like Suzanne getting some air time! This album is melodic, thought provoking and beautiful!… Expand

    Poetic, haunting... everything that we love about Vega. Only complaint: keyboard music in "Machine Ballerina" doesn't seem to fit the rest of the album, which is full of perfect counter-melodies on mandolin and piano.

    A polished, classy album whose retrained elegance and melancholy resonance more than compensate for its lack of rhythmic and instrumental restlessness.

    Infinite sadness, hypnotic beauty. [28 Sep 2001, p.74]

    A simple, often stark record reminiscent of her eponymous 1985 debut.
