JimPOct 19, 2003Even though I hardly think her "profound" lyrics will ever become popular mainstays of future recording artists, I am still mesmerizefd by EMMYLOU's voice and the general sonics of this ever-more delightful cd!

LauraHDOct 27, 2003This album is very good, heartrending in fact. I wonder if she was thinking of anyone in particular when she wrote many of these lyrics. I would love to know.

KevinMSep 25, 2003As always, Emmylou hits a homerun. Not as good as her last album, but better than anything else out there.

Subtle exercises in pushing genre boundaries, these (mostly self-penned) songs deal in profundity without resort to cliche, and they deserve better than to have the life polished out of them.
-
MojoThose who want their Emmylou full of sweet, sad longing will play a quarter of this album to death.... Elsewhere, there's righteous anger and an assertiveness and sexuality to the love songs. [Nov 2003, p.128]
-
Even breezy pop songs like "Jupiter Rising" and timeless standards like "Plaisir D'Amour" gain profundity from Harris and [producer Malcolm] Burn's genteel approach.
