"Karan Casey's latest album is revelatory. She's always been a singer of songs that tell a story and show their muscle. But this collection sees her step into a space that's likely to appeal equally to fans of alt-country and Irish folk alike ... This is a strikingly three-dimensional work that stands the test of intensive and repeated listening with ease. A vivid and dazzling snapshot of Casey invincible, at the height of her powers".

"Karan's last album Two More Hours was all her own songs, while this one is mainly covers of other songwriters, and very good it is too. Right from the beginning she lays it on the line, opening with Hollis Brown, which builds up with banjo, doomy piano and finally surging strings, driving her and the song on to the inevitable impending disaster - a song just as relevant today. The band uses rather more chords than Dylan's original almost single-chord version, and it's a masterpiece of arrangement ... The more I play Hieroglyphs.. the more I think this is probably the best Karan Casey album yet".
