"This is not an album of broken hearts, it's an album of continual learning how to live, of observing nature - as on `Orb Weaver` and `Plants and Flowers` - and then making a connection to the self. And that's lovely, of course, but it the whole of the album, the completeness that the ten songs give in the ways that they compliment each other and Natalie Jane Hill's underlying refusal to shy away from pain that make `Solely` a truly fine, satisfying and thought provoking album. And, finally, an album that should be heard".

"It is a remarkably mature effort; in many ways, she exposes herself on a level that many of us would choose not to ... With Soley, Natalie Jane Hill has come out on the other side of her problems. She is a more mature woman, in a better place. That she has the bravery to bare it all for us is what makes this such a remarkably mature work".

"It's hard to overstate how intoxicating "Solely" is. The title track to this second album from Natalie Jane Hill threads a rich vein of pedal steel through its flurries of picking, putting a heady, disorienting drone under an already hypnotic pulse. Little crescendos of rolled cymbals build up under the ends of phrases, and Hill's voice, ever agile, ever precise, picks up a shadowy double in the warm, bubbling choruses. The main focus, as always, is on Hill herself, her tricky, fluttering phrasing and breathy octave leaps, her rapid, fluid cascades of guitar. But this time, she's surrounded by velvety sonics, ambient hum and other instruments, the throb of cello, the plink of glockenspiel turning up in the interstices of her songs".
