"As a whole, this work exudes confidence and competence throughout, with no fillers. The production quality is high, with each song sounding polished, never loose. The musicianship is tight with no suggestion of showboating and there is always just enough space within the songs to appreciate each component. Jenny Reynolds describes her music ‘as a love child from a three way with James Taylor, John Mayer and Gillian Welch’ which is not an unreasonable description. This is a well balanced and structured recording showing many competencies where no single element is an afterthought."

"It’s never an easy exercise comparing a new artist to legends of the industry, but sometimes it’s necessary to give new readers and listeners an idea of what to expect, so I have no worries mentioning Nanci Griffith and Laura Nyro, but there’s more than a sprinkling of Joan Baez and Judy Collins, as Jenny Reynolds’ voice caresses every nuance out of every word and note in every song here. One for purists and casual music fans alike."
