"Solstice is a kind of companion to 2012's Go On Now, You Can't Stay Here by the Wandering - Dickinson's first project with female vocalists. Longtime associates Amy LaVere and Sharde Thomas were part of the earlier group and contribute alongside gospel trio the Como Mamas, Amy Helm, and Birds of Chicago's Allison Russell ... The idea was for these women - some of whom had never met - to engage and interact with one another in an unrehearsed situation and capture the encounter on tape ... Surprise is the name of the game as blues, fife, and drum music, gospel, folk, country, and R&B commingle in the moment ... These performances are often startling in their gentle power to edify, making Dickinson's ideas for a collaborative project a fruitful one".

"Having congregated at the Dickinson family's Zebra Ranch studio (...), this linchpin of the North Mississippi Allstars (with sibling Cody) stepped part-way into the shadows, playing less the role of catalyst than flashpoint for the multiple moments of inspiration that comprise this record. Yet the guitarist is no stranger to a supporting role - he played it to the hilt when a member of the Black Crowes - and excels with stringed accompaniment ... the playing is as carefully-conceived as the material (with the exception of one traditional, all originals, mostly by session participants), interweaving elements of blues, country folk and gospel with a light touch corresponding to the finely-etched pastels of the cover art".
