"This album is clearly a labour of love and, with guest musicians Danny Frankel on drums and Lewis Keller on bass, Olson has delivered an album that is far removed from those early Jayhawks days. If Olson has been on a particularly long musical journey then this feels like a man who has come full circle, back to his musical and environmental roots, a man at peace with his lot".

"After an ill-considered detour into world music on his 2014 album Good-bye Lizelle, former Jayhawk Mark Olson has moved back to somewhat more familiar ground with 2017's Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun ... Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun is a decided improvement over Good-bye Lizelle, but despite the strength of its craft, it's still a disappointing effort from a major talent".
