Melodically exquisite, this is a triumph of minimalism.
-
You Are Free may take awhile longer than expected to unfold, but once it does, its excellence is undeniable.

Entertainment WeeklyWhen Dave Grohl's scruffy drumming enters, themusic finally lives up to the second half of her stage name. [21 Feb 2003, p.150]
-
An evocative composite of soulful melodies, with stripped-down piano and hushed guitar-and-vocal ballads.
-
Rarely breaking from a single, unrelenting mood, Free has a tendency to repeat itself: It could stand to be broken up by more uptempo tracks like "He War," particularly since Marshall does well with them.
-
A polished, carefully crafted set of beautiful, intense songs that lay bare the singers heart as honestly and effectively as anything shes attempted before.
-
BlenderSadly, distracting overembellishments dog her sixth album. [#14, p.133]
