    Every track gives you something new and exciting, while holding tightly on to Emilíana’s flawless voice and melodies.

    Like most of ET's work, it's worth the wait. [Nov 2013, p.90]

    It’s Torrini's most insular yet assured collection of songs to date.

    A long delayed follow up, it has emerged in its own time as a gentle triumph.

    Much of the album mediates on Torrini's new status as a mother but does so through some intensely poetic lyrics. [Oct 2013, p.75]

    Tookah is a frustrating album because there are a couple examples of something fantastic happening in Torrini’s musical mind but it doesn’t quite deliver in the end.

    She finds too many ways to distract from her voice elsewhere. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.99]

    Too much of the album feels as if she’s chosen the comfort of being back home, retreating from the brief spotlight she’d been slowing stepping toward since 2008.

    While her latest record is certainly not a jumbled mess, there’s a definite decline in inspiration.

    Torrini and collaborator Dan Carey envisioned the record as a chance to explore the possibilities of the studio, and it does sound lovely, in a New Age kind of way. It seems, however, that this has come at the expense of strong songwriting.
