Entertainment WeeklyThe result is rueful and gorgeous. [22/29 Aug 2008, p.125]
-
It's a tight, cohesive record with a subtle but undeniable resonance, a record that Juliana Hatfield always seemed on the verge of delivering but finally has.
-
Hatfield does her moody, catchy indie-pop to near-perfection after so much practice (nine solo albums during the past 16 years), and entertaining examples abound here.
-
Songs this bitter demand catharsis, but nestled in its pop cocoon, that side of Hatfield's story instead gets stifled by the soft bomb approach when what you really want is for the singer, once and for all, to explode in rage and break something.
-
Surprisingly vital.
-
Under The RadarWhat Hatfield lacks in lyrical grace--she makes up in conviction. [Summer 2008, p.82]
-
The album has its moments but suffers from fussy production.
