"A collection of classy, retro pop that showcases her chameleonic voice. It's not a style that holds a huge amount of excitement any more, as indicated by the album's more banal junctures, such as the rather stale Elizabeth Taylor and various cod-Adele moments. But Maguire proves it can still be startlingly fruitful - most evidently in the minimal, doomy blues of Falling Leaves, but hinted at in other tracks which seem to reference everything from Nico's frosty folk and Desire-era Dylan to Beatlesesque pop and Paul Williams's understatedly beautiful songwriting".

" Stranger Things Have Happened, features a grating, limply strummed, autoharp, which matches the high and hollow vocal delivery, and a string section is dragooned into the mix in an attempt to add gravitas. The Valley - which is strongly reminiscent of Feist's 1234 - features one of the strongest vocal performances of the album, yet the production process hasn't adequately captured them".

Vurdering 3/5.
