Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "The music remains and is, thankfully, untouchable. 'Waltz No. 2,' wisely placed second, is the defining moment.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This compilation is a reminder of the stillness and quiet power at the heart of his frank, softly sung confessionals, of Smiths Talent as an arranger...and of his able, Paul Simon-like finger-picking style.", "Harrowing, threadbare indie-folk and lushly arranged ballads....A starkly beautiful and coherent album.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "His quavering, multi-tracked whisper and melodic songs soundtracked a millennial mood of unease and despair."
