    A top ten record for 2007 for sure. Great album.

    Nicely melodic, a Randy Newman-like vocal style (I think), Brian Wilsony piano....a winner...worth taking a chance on if you are into melody and nice pop/rock songs. Definately recommended.

    Vividly of-the-moment, rich in melody and wry optimism. [Mar 2007, p.104]
  2. Spin
    70
    Hypnotic and strangely thrilling. [Feb 2007, p.86]
  3. Uncut
    80
    In his own way, Swift is as vivid a newcomer as Joanna Newsom or early Rufus Wainwright. [Mar 2007, p.84]
