  1. AllMusic
    60
    The songs, while as elegant and naturally paced as they've ever been, tend to merely drift along.
  2. The A.V. Club
    50
    It doesn't take long for her aimless acoustic picking and postgraduate lyrical poetry to dissipate into a dull gray haze.
  3. The Wire
    60
    It's an uneven set, relying strongly on her performance to carry the songs forward. [#229, p.68]

    Sweet, spooky harmonies, partly inspired by the death of a close relative, given a naked acoustic production. [May 2003, p.125]
