Everything sounds lovely, but the songs are too indistinct from one another, and there’s very little emotional range on display.

Q MagazineThere's an intimacy to these songs that makes it feel like you're intruding on some private sorrow, but there's no denying their ability to sustain a mood. [Jun 2009, p.117]
