    Where You Live is yet another elegant and easy album from Chapman, just the kind her fan base has come to expect.

    The album distinguishes itself from Chapman's previous releases with its stellar studio band and its refusal to submit to pop production. [17 Sep 2005]

    The arrangements are lean but wonderfully evocative... while Chapman's lyrics remain memorable and affecting. [Oct 2005, p.136]

    Given her almost unremittingly bleak subject matter, it helps enormously that she's blessed with a unique voice. [Oct 2005, p.108]

    Chapman is an eloquent lyricist with a strong social conscience, but she's also a superb songwriter and musician and Where You Live contains several instances of low key beauty.

    In many ways Chapman just sings the same song over and over. [Oct 2005, p.115]

    She's still on fine, if depressing form.

    If you're a fan, Where You Live is classic Chapman. [Oct 2005, p.94]
