"Power invokes the elements, either in contrast to internal weather or in sympathy with it ... Much as cats purr to comfort themselves, singer-songwriters often write themselves out of their distress. Their gift to the rest of us is an acknowledgment of internal tsunamis having raged, and the reassurance that the singer is still here to tell the tale".

"Chords and notes hang in space before her voice, distant, otherworldly, weaves fragments of personal memory and time into a powerful and almost hypnotic experience. Her singing is heavy with the drone and lilt of Irish tradition".

"Irish folk singer Brigid Mae Power's latest occupies a liminal space made up of droning guitars, metallic piano reverberations, and lyrics that trace some barely escaped threat ... Despite its clear seriousness, Brigid Mae Power runs on that sense of newfound freedom. Power and Broderick find glimmers of light even in the darkest moments, and she learns to trust the kind of love that enables independence, after some period of coercion".
