    Ortega's musical composition revels in an outlaw spirit, echoed vocal acoustics and a Spanish waltz. She masters the equilibrium and stability amid light and dark, which is regularly touched on in her earlier works.

    While Liberty is more often than not gentler in tone than Ortega's preceding albums, it is by far her most innovative and powerful, and stands as her masterwork thus far.

    Whether you absorb it in bite-size pieces or jump into the 51-minute deep end of the pool while reading the lyrics, this superb and challenging album can be appreciated and enjoyed on a variety of levels.

    It’s a curio, but a triumphant curio.

    As Liberty proceeds to its final act, the mood grows graver, the music more straightforward and streamlined but no less inventive.

    Liberty, her seventh album, feels like the record she’s been desperate to make for some time.

    It doesn't all work; but when it does, it's wonderfully widescreen. [Jun 2018, p.96]

    Engaging and vibrant. The subtle textures of this album kept my interest and make me want to listen to it again.
