    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]

    Tell Tales is spirited and theatrical, if not necessarily memorable enough to pass into local lore.

    They do truly make a beautiful noise together. That said, vocals can't account for everything and, in an album so marked by its makers' laryngeal input, it seems as though the rest got a little neglected.

    The music – traditional piano and guitars, or a cappella, almost barbershop arrangements – doesn't always match the vim and character of [the songs'] words and voices.
