Entertainment WeeklyIt's the showcase of a confident singer successfully diversifying. [9 Feb 2007, p.72]
-
For the most part, Children Running Through is Griffin at her most complete, using elements from her favorite genres to support simple songs that follow the up-sloping contours of her phenomenal voice.
-
Children Running Through is Patty Griffin's masterpiece thus far.
-
Fancy up her surroundings all you want, but like another transcendent, intuitive singer-Van Morrison, in whose company she belongs-it's the way she sings... that defines her greatness, as lonely as it might be.
