    A sexy record, of a kind that no one else seems to be making anymore.
  2. Junkmedia
    88
    It has an appealing gentle earnestness that most pop music lost somewhere in the past few decades.
  3. Entertainment Weekly
    83
    A set of appealing folk-rock ditties shot through with girl-group sweetness and a soupcon of punky attitude. [1 Aug 2003, p.79]

    This record is classy. Holly and co. exemplify the essence of rock n' roll, rhythm and blues, and vintage pop by crafting an album full of songs that are instantly catchy and simple, yet brimming with atmosphere. Holly's seductive, mature voice give the music a subdued quality that is increasingly rare today. She and her band prove that it's often what you don't hear that's important. Subtlety is Ms. Golightly's mantra, and it works perfectly. Truly she is none other. What else is there to say?… Expand

    I came to this pretty late, but since no one else here has commented on it, maybe I'm early. Holly Golightly (great name with respects to Truman Capote) doesn't have what you would call the greatest voice in the world, but after only a couple of spins, I was hooked by her honesty and wisdom. She is completely REAL. It's amazing what a rainbow of emotions and sounds she creates in the seemingly-limited genre of 60s-ish, stripped-down garage rock. I'll probably have to track down some of her earlier stuff, even though I'm known for not wanting anything "ancient" (more than a year old.) Well, even if I never do, these 13 songs will keep me coming back because they're timeless. And, oh yes, I LOVE her voice now.… Expand
