"Gauthier's ninth studio outing, Dark Enough to See the Stars, is as empathetic as anything she's written. Music in its highest form, she believes, "is empathy" ... Gauthier's is not a particularly remarkable voice or a particularly beautiful one, but that's what makes it so appealing. It's intimate, direct, straight from the heart: the cracked and comforting voice of an old friend reaching out in the darkness, offering hard truths and homespun philosophy".

"Sometimes music won't cause any measurable tremors in the musical landscape. But if the words & music linger long enough in someone's heart to allow them to smile briefly, privately, even with a tear in their misty eyes - from your work - your job is done. Cindy Bullens' CD did it for me & it continues to. Mary Gauthier does this. One of the year's best, without a doubt".

"After all the gruelling, purging, razor-edged confessions of addiction and abuse that made her name, the opening brace here finds Gauthier luxuriating in love over warm, woody, Band-inspired music, the Hammond rising up like smoke, and happiness making her voice soar and spread like the sun ... Gauthier's singing (...) blooms, holding on to syllables as if they're the late beloved in the elegy "How Could You Be Gone", or sensually streching words that miss her lover's touch. Dylan in 1970 comes to mind, comforted and satisfied".
