    Good, but not great. The ugly step-sister of Want One, which was amazing, ostentatious, and honest, this album is simply pretentious. But still sometimes good.

    Demanding and artful, he just may be this generation's Joni Mitchell. [5 Dec 2004]
  2. His voice is beautiful, his phrasing adventurous and his arrangements intense.... But the material could stand a bit of pruning

    It didn't seem possible, but Wainwright gets more florid and over-the-top with each new album. [19 Nov 2004, p.82]
