    In other words, it's the best kind of reunion because it's not only lacking in nostalgia, it shows that some things can be better the second time around.

    Hatfield, drummer Todd Phillips and bassist Dean Fisher still mash up the agony and ecstasy in the same idiosyncratic, gorgeous way we knew and loved. [No. 117, p.55]

    Much like its forebear, the album's 12 tunes are tight, tidy pop-rockers, presented in her characteristic straightforward-yet-slightly-skewed manner.

    The intricacies and frustrations of relationships dominate, while the arrangements are kept crisp and simple. [Apr 2015, p.76]

    Lyrically, the LP lacks the wit of past work like the clever "Supermodel," but stylistically, the Bostonians haven't missed a step.

    On a whole, Whatever is milder and gentler than the darker Become What You Are; that comes with age, I guess. But, all said, it does feel like a return.

    She's so irrelevant now, and this album is a little too little too late. I have been waiting for her 2nd proper album for 20 years. lolShe's so irrelevant now, and this album is a little too little too late.
