"Taking inspiration from poets W.B. Yeats and John Keats, among others, the work of McKennitt on Lost Souls is a most welcome return for her ardent fan base ... Loreena McKennitt continues to etch her name into the bedrock of Folk, New Age, and World music, having honed her craft across the years to marry her broad range of influences into a satisfying, congruent whole".

"The Canadian singer/songwriter's first full-length collection of original material since 2006's Ancient Muse, Lost Souls sees Loreena McKennitt delivering another richly detailed and alluringly cinematic set of worldbeat-infused, modern-folk pieces that hearken back to career-defining albums like The Visit, The Mask and Mirror, and The Book of Secrets ... and despite a dizzying area of exotic instrumentation -- nyckelharpa, oud, kanoun, lyra, hurdy gurdy, etc. -- it's clear that the rolling hills and temperate moors of the United Kingdom, as well as the extensive vistas of her Canadian homeland, are where her heart resides".
