SpinImagine Joni Mitchell if she'd made Miles after Mingus. [Feb 2005, p.92]
-
Brings in a smoky mysticism and freeform beauty that recalls Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, and Joni Mitchell.
-
Todd... smartly allows her soaring, angelic voice to take the lead, leaving the sparse arrangement of strings and keys to take a delicate backseat. This also means her lyricism, poignant and wry, stands out.

MojoA lesson in ageless folk rock opulence. [Apr 2005, p.97]
-
Manzanita may be too diverse to be cohesive, but it is filled with interesting songs and the continued potential for great things.
-
Under The RadarTodd is one of the few writers who can be heavy without being suffocating, self-conscious without being self-obsessed, and fragile without being frail. [#9]
-
The high points of the album are the tracks that feature Todd by herself either on guitar or piano, filling the song with the trembling strength of her singing.
