"It's impossible to separate Nina Nastasia's first album in 12 years from its tumultuous backstory. On 26 January 2020, she finally left an abusive 25-year relationship with her manager and collaborator Kennan Gudjonsson. The following day he took his own life. Those events don't so much cast a shadow over Riderless Horse, written and recorded in the aftermath, as permeate every second of it. It's an unsettlingly raw album, the sparse instrumentation - Nastasia's soft voice and acoustic guitar, recorded, as ever, by Steve Albini - making her lyrics all the more stark and powerful".

"Først og fremmest fremhæver den nøgne produktion Nastasia som den fremragende sangskriver, hun stadigvæk er. Det hører efterhånden til sjældenhederne, at der udgives plader af denne karakter, hvor klassisk sangskriverhåndværk og en vedkommende stemme træder frem så usminket og ryster ens verdensbillede en lille smule. Det formår Nastasia".
