"...when she plants herself firmly, as on the country cut "I Can't Make It Alone," she gets the traction she needs and soars up, up, and away..." - Rating: B-, 3 Stars Out of 5-"Pilot to Gunner Banks on Jittery Emo-Punk Grooves and Noise-Rock Mayhem.", "...on her second solo album she's regressed and returned to the brilliant thievery of youth, for YOU GOTTA SIN is devilishly full of the joie de vivre of unblushing derivation....Not a weak tune in this bunch...a shape-shifter's smorgasbord of pop diversity...", 3 Stars - Good - "...Maria McKee charges through most of this album YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED at full throttle...", 8 - Excellent - "...If there's a space in your record collection between The Black Crowes and The Jayhawks, YOU GOTTA SIN will plug that gap amply...."

Her second solo album, YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED, remains her most loved and most commercially successful outing.
