"... This Bitter Earth - centered on Swift's tradition-grounded, yet air-borne, vocal athleticism (her scatting alone provides an engine of smiles despite all the deeper leanings) and wildfire performances from all involved-crackles like a live wire from the title opener to its urgent closer "Sing!." Thirteen tracks demand you stop and listen, be it for the beat, the swing, the voice, the music, the message. Whatever. You're gonna listen. Just try not to".

"The gifted Ms Swift is equipped with vocal technique to spare. Her pitch is precise, her enunciation crisp. She has a finely calibrated sense of dynamics and exercises admirable control over vibrato. Her range is wide, her voice flexible, her time enviable and she swings without shame. And, rare creature, she can scat convincingly without curling the toes of her audience".

"Veronica Swift is a woman of many voices, and she uses every one of them to refract a dizzying kaleidoscope of moods on This BitterEarth, the follow-up to 2019's Confessions. As on that earlier work, Swift digs deep into the American songbook to reveal new, often surprising truth ... Swift is a supernova. And the players who help manifest her vision make This Bitter Earth a musical bounty of depth and breadth".
