"No Saint is a big, bold album, where her sturdy songs are given a shiny production that has an eye squarely on mainstream radio yet doesn't shy away from inviting comparisons between Jenkins and Norah Jones. Certainly, Jenkins is more of an overt rebel than Jones -- she's rooted in outlaw country, ready to raise a ruckus -- but her voice has similar smoky overtones, which lend even the hard-charging songs and glistening pop tunes a sense of depth. Her voice makes the songs feel experienced, not sung. This hybrid of bracing pop, intimate cabaret, and dusty Americana on No Saint is invigorating, offering pleasures that are both immediate and lasting, while also announcing the arrival of a major talent".

"She's got the voice, the looks, the road experience and the promotional heft (slick videos, eye-catching web page) of the appropriately named Big Machine label behind her. But is there enough natural talent in Lauren Jenkins to push her to the top of the new-artist heap on her debut release? ... perhaps with time and less help/interference from the star-making machinery, will reveal herself as an organic force to be reckoned with".
