    I came to this pretty late, but since no one else here has commented on it, maybe I'm early. Holly Golightly (great name with respects to Truman Capote) doesn't have what you would call the greatest voice in the world, but after only a couple of spins, I was hooked by her honesty and wisdom. She is completely REAL. It's amazing what a rainbow of emotions and sounds she I came to this pretty late, but since no one else here has commented on it, maybe I'm early.

She is completely REAL. It's amazing what a rainbow of emotions and sounds she creates in the seemingly-limited genre of 60s-ish, stripped-down garage rock. I'll probably have to track down some of her earlier stuff, even though I'm known for not wanting anything "ancient" (more than a year old.)

    This record is classy. Holly and co. exemplify the essence of rock n' roll, rhythm and blues, and vintage pop by crafting an album full of songs that are instantly catchy and simple, yet brimming with atmosphere. Holly's seductive, mature voice give the music a subdued quality that is increasingly rare today. She and her band prove that it's often what you don't hear This record is classy.

Holly's seductive, mature voice give the music a subdued quality that is increasingly rare today. She and her band prove that it's often what you don't hear that's important. Subtlety is Ms. Golightly's mantra, and it works perfectly. Truly she is none other. What else is there to say?… Expand

    Packed with great songs and performances, it re-establishes Golightly as a beacon of grace and restraint in a world sadly bereft of both.

    A set of appealing folk-rock ditties shot through with girl-group sweetness and a soupcon of punky attitude. [1 Aug 2003, p.79]

    It's Golightly's most genuine, dark-struttin' My Generation-type record to date.
