3 Stars - Good - "...her voice has a vulnerable bruised quality many will find attractive and the playing is expert without being showy...", "...Purring and shouting passionately about the trials and rewards of romance, Scialfa's sensual delivery makes this a perfect album for hip-grinding slow dance..." - Rating: B+, 3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...the emotional ambivalence and sexual candor of a mature woman....Scialfa's songs garner their charm, and strength, from a perspective that is distinctly feminine and from the insights engendered by her own rigorous introspection..."
