    Those speedy songs ["You and Me" and "Go Away My Lover"] are the exception on this album, not the rule, but they're still the highlight, balancing Ziman's ruminations on a love gone wrong with something much brighter.

    "Worn Out Tune" says it all, with its bluesy but not-quite-bleak atmosphere, and Ziman happily embracing "the ones we just can't get enough of." The band wants all their songs to have this quality, but every track on the album sounds like they were labored over so carefully that spontaneity lost every battle against precision.

    It's definitely a pleasant album, but also too much on the safe side.

    Elizabeth Ziman's voice compares well with the mainstream flavor of a Sara Bareilles, while her songs mine deeper states of self-examination. [Year End 2010, p.75]
