    Case continues to refine her mix of alternative-country music and film-noir sensibility on Blacklisted.

    Case's own melodies aren't nearly as indelible as the country classics she's emulating. [#10, p.115]

    There are exquisite moments here, mostly the simpler ones, but not as many as there should be. [Dec 2002, p.100]
