Sep 14, 2011Just another Tori Amos trying to reach Kate Bush level. No chance. Songs are boring, no surprises at all. At least lyrics is not bad. To sum up, nothing to be so excited about. Critics definitely went wrong.

Mar 24, 2012It's OK. It's not great though. There are some good songs. 'Cruel' is great and 'Champagne Years' (despite sounding strangely like the Vaccines 'Blow It Up') is fantastic as well. It doesn't have that complete album feel however.

Entertainment WeeklyOct 6, 2011It's cerebral and a little chilly, but also full of musical surprises. [23 Sep 2011, p.79]
