"Poetic and intimately beautiful it may be, but this album is scarcely Americana. It is folk, and of a very English type, which considering McQuaid was born in Madrid and raised in Chicago is quite some achievement. To compound this feel, the album is produced by Michael Chapman, but sparely and unobtrusively, with an occasional touch of his guitar. McQuaid constantly uses her usual DADGAD tuning, which leaves songs floating in neither major or minor keys and adds to the slight netherworld feeling throughout the album".
