  1. Uncut
    80
    Her husky drawl of a voice remains as precious and fragile as a chandelier, and it well suits these insidiously melodic, intimate songs. [Oct 2009, p.110]

  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    This is a record to be drunk from deeply, preferably in solitude, along with a bottle of whatever makes you purr as warmly as Sandoval and her Inventions can--and evidently still do--at their best.
  3. The Guardian
    80
    This is music to lose yourself in during the long cold winter nights.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    Devil reveals itself slowly--very, very slowly--over repeated listens. [Fall 2009, p.66]
