    The Cornshed Sisters display moments of Joni Mitchell's exquisite songcraft, the choral elegance of The Roches and witty buffoonery of John Grant amalgamating Tell Tales into its own refreshing niche in the ever-expanding folk cartel.
  2. 60
    Tell Tales is spirited and theatrical, if not necessarily memorable enough to pass into local lore.

    The less mannered material shines brightest. [Apr 2012, p.75]

    If anything the sisters take too traditional an approach, and where their live shows are freewheeling and fun, Tell Tales sounds mannered and prim. [May 2012, p.95]
