Feb 2, 2019Beautiful album. Re-listened on vacation after 5-10 years. (I hate how hard it is to listen to an album, vs random songs.) I was especially touched by Was There Where, I Like It Best, and It Hurts. Any other recommendations. Donkey Ride was odd but unique!

RudyB.Mar 27, 2007Inspirational, moving and pentecostal are the effects this had on me. It made me want to read The Words and be as inspired as she appeared to be.

GarydFeb 13, 2007It could have been preachy and insufferably high-concept. But it's actually pretty affecting. A welcome return to form.

niccolòFeb 20, 2007a strange and yet so intense album. you have to listen to it at least twice. and then it will "reveal" itself in all his beauty. I prefer the music to the lyrics, still.

This is the least polished and crafted recording of Rickie Lee Jones' career, and it stands alone in her catalog. It's a ragged kid in ripped blue jeans singing her heart out to you without drama or falsity. How can it be anything less than a masterpiece?

Some of this music is oddly affecting; much of it is merely odd.

BillboardIt's a concept so heady and engrossing that it can obscure the fact that "Sermon" also rocks in a way Jones never has before. [17 Feb 2007]
