profBOct 17, 2006A gem of a record--somewhere between Patty Griffin, Edie Brickell and the innocence mission--quiet yet powerful. There are some dull moment in the middle of the disc, but Our Loud, the twangy Little Devil, and the three tracks that close the record are as gripping--lyrically, musically, vocally--as anything I've heard this year.

MattD.,Oct 27, 2006Not as immediate as her debut CD. But most of Long Island Shores is just as rewarding if you let the melodies seep in and pay attention to lyrics that show a more experienced songwriter.

With her expressively breathy vocals and uplifting melodies, Mindy Smith expresses both the romantic and spiritual dimensions of rapture.
