"It is the kind of music that envelopes you. You are perfectly aware of the narration of the songs, whose lyrics allow for individual interpretation and introspection, something that tends to bring you closer to its heart with frequent listening. In the accompanying lyric book, the lyrics are laid out in prose style, which tends to emphasise their narrative style. On that point, there has been a lot of care put into this release (a 16 page full colour booklet and a fold-out digi-pak cover featuring the design and artwork of Anna Berman [and photography of Jacob Blickenstaff]), all of which makes this something more intrinsic in value than a download." -Stephen Rapid, Lonesome Highway https://www.lonesomehighway.com/music-reviews/2022/7/24/new-album-reviews
