Industry Reviews ...Mournful ballads and hymns pursuing so much more than proven formula... No Depression (11/01/2001)
...Reveals a desparate preoccupation with death. When Stanley's husk of a tenor wraps around a thing-of-wonder soprano...the effect is rose-and-briar perfection... - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (10/12/2001)
...Exhilarating, effulgent music... Mojo (02/01/2002)
