"While Copeland exhibits impressive vocal range and versatility on her second album for Telarc, the material and pacing seem designed more as a marketing exercise than a heartfelt attempt to create original art. Fans who lost track of Copeland after her lengthy stint at indie blues powerhouse Alligator would do better to try her 2009 Telarc debut, Never Going Back, with its politically charged themes and a sound that doesn't overreach for radio friendliness".

"This isn't a disc for the timid (or the purist-minded) but for the big-eared adventurers it's a bracing journey into the musical heart and soul of a gifted vocalist who continues to declare her independence - as a stylist, as a singer, as a woman - in ways thatr long-time listeners and newcomers alike should admire".
