    It is an oasis in the middle of gray everyday life of winter! With this album, summer will come faster.

    There's always been a wistful strain to [Cook's music]. Youth's contribution is to amp up the dreaminess in a way that perfectly suits songs such as Lunar Addiction and Ghostly fading. [Apr 2018, p.108]

    By the end of Vessel of Love, it is apparent that an interest in reggae is far from the only thing Cook learned from Ari Up, or the most important thing. She learned to find her voice and make it heard.

    While Cook's credentials are undeniably impeccable, they don't outshine her talent, and she just keeps getting better.
