  1. Maybe this isn't a major record, but it's thoroughly likeable record that doesn't lose its charm on repeated plays.

    Mostly loose and warm more than heart-stopping. [Apr 2006, p.104]

    In the studio, Jones and musical friends... distill the fun, down-to-earth spirit of their live shows. [11 Mar 2006]
  4. There will no doubt be finer country albums released this year, but there may not be one as irresistible as this one.
  5. Their debut has the same easy charm and command of pre-rock pop as Jones' albums, only with less depth and more pedal steel.

    From start to finish it's an anti-diva joy. [Apr 2006, p.110]

    Thought I would love Nora Jones sing anything, but couldn't get into this one.

    Lots of fun and soul with expert vocals and music; can't ask for more.

    Great vocals with light, loose and fun musicianship.
