"It's stirring stuff, especially when combined with Harvieu's vampish image, paying homage to the screen sirens of yesteryear as filtered through David Lynch, but there is more than mere seduction at work, in the tradition of a Hollywood femme fatale. Listened to with the knowledge of what she's been through, the album is also a compelling diary of a struggle with self-belief, a release of pent-up tension and a celebration of liberation and survival. And, in its stirring torch song finale My Body She Is Alive, a new beginning".
