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

    If you're a fan, Where You Live is classic Chapman. [Oct 2005, p.94]
  3. 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.

    Given her almost unremittingly bleak subject matter, it helps enormously that she's blessed with a unique voice. [Oct 2005, p.108]
  5. She's still on fine, if depressing form.
  6. Blender

    The arrangements are lean but wonderfully evocative... while Chapman's lyrics remain memorable and affecting. [Oct 2005, p.136]
  7. Q Magazine
    40
    In many ways Chapman just sings the same song over and over. [Oct 2005, p.115]

    Very forgettable. Very disappointed. She seems to have lost her edge. Boring.
