Industry Reviews
6 (out of 10) - ...she wraps up some Tennyson poetry with cor anglais, bassoon and harp....But it's not just a hankering for Blighty's more pastoral days. The record also explores the power of the French chanson--thus flitting from the sunny and innocent to the smoky and forlorn...
NME (07/15/1995)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...A perfect moment, it shouldn't really happen again in the confines of one album but it does, several times...
