"It seems to be a mostly solo recording made by the Alberta-based Uschenko on a Tascam 388 eight-track tape machine despite the live iteration of Ghost Woman being a band. There are, though, a guest lead vocal from the band's Nick Hay on one cut and a pedal steel contribution on another. It's all incredibly adept but what's lacking is the tension brought by different musicians interacting with each other. "Lo Extraño" motors along but would really take off were people playing against each other. An album which needs animating in a live setting".

"Rattling around a big house, cooking over an open outside fire and recording most instruments himself on analogue tape, Evan Uschenko has immersed himself in a home-grown, hippie fantasy of Manson-haunted LA canyons, giving hurt and occasional threat to lyrics with a narcotic drag. The sound has a bad-trip edge ... 'Anne, If' is mostly a time-warped, somewhat enervated state of mind".

"Uschenko conjures the warm analogue ghosts of Love and The Byrds amid the 12-string guitars of "The End Of A Gun", while the blackened pedal steel of "Lo Extraño" matches hazy, melancholy wordplay riddled with heartbreak, loss and self-doubt. "Tripped" stands out further, Nick Hay's guest vocal dipping into spectral Mark Lanegan territory as it menacingly implores, "Do I scare you?". Elsewhere, subtle seasonings of country, Krautrock and blues further distinguish 'Anne, If' from the realms of highly studious pastiche".
