"Singer/violinist Amanda Shires avoids easy lessons and genre expectations in crafting a catchy and challenging new album ... Musically, she does something different, bringing what she needs to each song, breaking away from genre into something that you could shelve on about any rack, and probably should".

"The often brooding music, lyrics and production of To The Sunset is a perfect example of the restless Shires "moving forward." It's her boldest, toughest and at times most melancholy release, challenging herself and her audience, to look ahead, not back".

"De ti sange på 'To The Sunset' [virker] mere til at udspringe af en iver for at komme til orde og en glæde over det virvar, som elektrisk guitar, keyboards og trommer sammen kan skabe ... Hendes fine fornemmelse for at komponere iørefaldende melodier med tilhørende skarpe tekster har hun heldigvis heller ikke lagt helt fra sig, og på de mere poppede af To the Sunset's numre lyder det, som havde country-stjernen Shania Twain med overlæg påkørt indie-singersongwriteren Cat Power i en brugt Ford Bronco ... Amanda Shires forsøg på at ændre lyden af Nashville klæder hende ganske godt. Vejen er bumlet, og understellet skraber mod asfalten. Og jeg hører og kører gerne med helt ind i solnedgangen".
