Entertainment WeeklyApr 8, 2011The Israeli-born chanteuse plays Francoise Hardy-esque fille mysterieuse on her husky, atmospheric latest. [8 Apr 2011, p.59]
-
Apr 14, 2011Slipping easily between lush orchestral pop and electronic symphonics redolent of Air, she also keeps a firm hand on the lyrical tiller, occasionally even bearing comparison to the poetic pith of Leonard Cohen.

MojoMay 17, 2011Despite including some familiarly-styled acoustic reflections, 101 is very different to 2007's New York-influenced Keren Ann. [May 2011, p.104]
-
Mar 22, 2011At times, they clearly outpace her singing and lyrics, which often betray the fact that English is a second language. Still, Keren Ann remains a striking songwriter (listen to the interesting device she employs on the title track for proof), while her range of musical techniques has grown.
-
Mar 23, 2011Each of the songs is a short film: with an atmosphere and a story and a sense of drama. That makes her an artist to whom attention must be paid.
-
Mar 23, 2011At best, the heart found in earlier recordings is missing from Ann's soft voice here. At worst-as in the album closer where she counts down from 101 to 1 in a flat tone-things get downright tedious.
-
Mar 18, 2011Keren Ann's languid orchestral pop is suffused with equal parts Parisian lounge, Golden Age of Hollywood, and polished folk song.
