  1. Translated From Love, her first in five years, is a treat in any emotional language.
  2. In all, it's a winner, a solid, consistently crafted "new country" record that wears rock & roll proudly on its sleeve.
  3. With results that transcend category, Willis sounds like an artist renewed.
  4. Translated From Love, with its dozen songs about the resilience of love, is a kick in the pants compared to the relatively mellow "Easy."
  5. It still has the depth her fans have come to expect, but it's Willis's coolest record yet.
  6. Uncut
    80
    Translated From Love utterly captures Kelly Willis' oft-wayward talent. [Oct 2007, p.115]
  7. Mojo
    80
    The result is an unusual and likeable mix of country rock, rockabilly and excellent ballads. [Nov 2007, p.102]
  8. The honeyed twang of the Austin songbird remains a hallmark on Translated, but the songs are forged with a more mature fire and relaxed tone.
