Entertainment WeeklyHer arresting voice holds it all together with unassuming grace. [11 Mar 2005, p.104]
-
This sounds very much like the record Deana Carter has always wanted to make
-
Story of My Life is polished, but it's far from slick; it's honest, wears its heart on its sleeve and is full of imagination, grace, and spit.
-
The New York TimesBuoyant, bittersweet songs about lovers who leave without ever quite going away. [14 Mar 2005]
-
Carter’s an artist clearly capable of making a great album. The Story of My Life isn’t it, but it’s a start.
-
Story is a couple gems short of excellence, but Carter has expanded her unaffected charm beyond the twang thang.
-
Paste MagazineEvokes Juliana Hatfield more than Shania Twain. [Apr/May 2005, p.127]
-
There's enough strong material on The Story of My Life to score Carter time on CMT and get her in good with the Borders crowd, cementing her cross-genre appeal.
-
The Story of My Life should definitely please fans of her earlier records and anyone with a taste for quote-unquote country music. But if she's on a quest for something more personal, more original, she's got some more miles to travel.
