"Tonally, she counters urgency with some tenderness, and her voice only seems to be getting better with time. It's a compelling entry in her catalog, one with a solid base of songs that will stand up to any nonsense".

"Few singer-songwriters in the modern folk firmament are as eloquent and articulate as Oxford-born Gilmore, and The Counterweight can lay claim to being her most perfectly realised album since her 2003 breakthrough Avalanche".

"For The Counterweight, her fifteenth studio album, Thea Gilmore has consciously put together what she regards as a companion to 2003's Avalanche, not so much musically, but the sociopolitical nature of much of the content".
