    Song for song, one of the better melodic albums of 2021. Highlights for me were Revolution, Photographs and Went Around the World. Lyrics are good too...Big Brother's watching you and trying to sell you something new. And I just want to take away take away the blues...When I get up in the morning, all I want is the truth. Good stuff.

    She's now made another quantum leap with A Beautiful Life. [Jan 2022, p.25]

    Can reliably wrangle an engaging, chart-friendly rock-lite tune, yet don't sound anything like their irresistibly evocative name would suggest. [Dec 2021, p.75]

    Think of A Beautiful Life as a solo album travelling in the disguise of a group effort (much like how the Replacements' All Shook Down can be easily read as a Paul Westerberg solo project), and you get a clearer picture of the personality of this music, though it documents Wennerstrom continuing to mature as an artist with a talent and vision that connects regardless of branding.
