"...There's a lot of comfortable sorrow lacing the lyrics, and also an abundance of those priceless one-liners that country radio stations use to advertise on billboards...", Included in Q's "Best Alt.Country Albums Of All Time" - "...This is where Janet Bean really exposes herself as the perfect foil behind and between Catherine Erwin's battered storytelling and stacatto guitar.", "...Nothing short of spectacular...One can hear and feel the blues in every note and beat of this duo's soulfully adventurous music.", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A rare encounter....Barry is steady and precise...creating patterns and setting the pace....Anderson responds with a big, effusive tone and bluesy melodies...", "...Captures the inventive urgency of Anderson's blowing....there's no padding, no filler, but lots of unexpected detours that, once executed, sound like the only viable choice...", 8 Out of 10-"...Musically Free but Never Overpowering, Muscular but Still Beautiful.", "...The close, urgent harmonies and spare instrumentation draw a straight line from here way back yonder to the Carter Family....Only on the beautifully wistful `You Make Me'...does Freakwater let its hipster guard down, slowly unfolding a tune so lovely it's a wonder they ever let it out of the studio.", 7 (out of 10) - "...lash out harmonies that would sound in place on a Carter Family record, such is their affection for their source music. But the themes are a bit different: where their ancestors would recommend God-fearin' ways, Freakwater are bummed-out and bleary-eyed....Ace songs, the lot of them."
