"On the face of things, Argonauta sounds as if it's promising mythological escapism. Instead, Texan-born, Massachusetts-based musician Aisha Burns' second solo album is rooted in the tragic, magical details of the every day. An argonauta is, it turns out, a type of octopus; a species that uses a fragile kind of egg shell as a buoyancy aid for its young, before the mothers float away on the tides. It's a fitting analogy for this painful, understated folk album, shadowed with the sadness of Burns grieving a parent".

"Afroamerikanske countrysangerinder er stadig et særsyn, så alene af den grund ville Aisha Burns skille sig ud ... At kalde det andet soloalbum fra Aisha Burns 'country' er måske lige at stramme den, men den intense sangerinde og violinist optræder på 'Argonauta' i et landskab indrammet af country og folk med et strejf af post-rock ... Vokalt brænder Burns med en ild, der er varmere og mere intens end Margo Timmins' aristokratiske indebrændthed. Men de to sangstemmer deler den samme duvende skønhedsåbenbaring af et sårbart hjerte og et sikkert og smagfuldt musikalsk overblik".
