  1. Paste Magazine
    85
    Her arrangements are music-hall clever, her erudite lyrics reference the most arcane subjects, and her flapper-vampy voice camps up everything to the point of burlesque.
  2. PopMatters
    80
    The breadth of Avi’s influences is apparent on her self-titled debut album, but she still creates a unique and extremely charming persona of her own.
  3. Under The Radar
    70
    Zee Avi is a gentle record, a good morning record, a future staple for the hungover or stressed out.
  4. The New York Times
    60
    Yet while the album includes its share of blandly pleasant songs--the kind that could position Ms. Avi as a less arty Feist--there are also glints of melancholy clarity that promise more.
