    It's all hugely engaging. [Jun 2009, p.96]
  2. A big part of the energy of Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women comes from the musicians, and while some might think Alvin might be aiming for novelty factor by recording with five women, one listen will wipe those thoughts from your mind.
  3. Mojo
    80
    The exuberance and delight in the newness and rightness of it all is captivating. [Jul 2009, p.107]
  4. Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women proves, the stuff Alvin’s packing now can be just as powerful.
  5. The performances are so strong throughout that one can only pray this collaboration turns out to be more than a dalliance.
  6. Q Magazine

    Sounds like everyone has a ball. [Jun 2009, p.117]
  7. All that talent still adds up to a disappointment filled with gauzy arrangements and magnified by Alvin's rare lackluster vocals.
