"Pratt and her acoustic guitar are mostly unaccompanied, and there are occasional imperfections-- buzzing strings, the faint crack of her voice-- that add to its atmosphere of unvarnished intimacy. Her chord progressions are neither neat resolutions nor mournful elegies, which is to say that her songs traverse that vast, somewhat under-explored territory between happy and sad (except for "Titles Under Pressure", which revolves around a hook that goes "The next time, I'm stayin' away from this place/ I cannot make more mistakes"; that one's a heartbreaker.) Even when Pratt sings a line like "All the lights in my life are fading" on "Streets of Mine", there's a bright, resilient note or two that belie how dismal it looks on paper".

"Vurdering: B" - "The touchstones of the collection are worn on Pratt's sleeve, with nods to 60's folk, California classic rock, and the early 2000's freak folk that thrived in her current hometown. And while the songs were not written with each other in mind, the album unfolds like a progression, with Pratt gradually displaying her lyrical and musical range without straying from a palette of picked acoustic guitar and raw, bending vocals".
