    As good as anything she's ever done - can't stop playing it.

    Even though I hardly think her "profound" lyrics will ever become popular mainstays of future recording artists, I am still mesmerizefd by EMMYLOU's voice and the general sonics of this ever-more delightful cd!

    This album is very good, heartrending in fact. I wonder if she was thinking of anyone in particular when she wrote many of these lyrics. I would love to know.

    Deeply tragic and haunting, but irresistable. Her voice has never been better.

    As always, Emmylou hits a homerun. Not as good as her last album, but better than anything else out there.

    Subtle exercises in pushing genre boundaries, these (mostly self-penned) songs deal in profundity without resort to cliche, and they deserve better than to have the life polished out of them.

    Those who want their Emmylou full of sweet, sad longing will play a quarter of this album to death.... Elsewhere, there's righteous anger and an assertiveness and sexuality to the love songs. [Nov 2003, p.128]
  3. The A.V. Club
    80
    Even breezy pop songs like "Jupiter Rising" and timeless standards like "Plaisir D'Amour" gain profundity from Harris and [producer Malcolm] Burn's genteel approach.
