Gretchen Peters:
“Stunning from start to finish! Each song drips with vivid details, which her voice brings to life.” — John Platt, WFUV, New York City
“Lean and poetic, unafraid to tackle the deep, poignant stuff, yet strongly melodic too… an affecting, beautifully
measured, very grown-up affair.” — Q Magazine
“Elegant, touching and articulate.” — Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
“Peters faces down her fears with strength and eloquence.” — USA Today
“Has mastered (the craft) so completely, she can do anything she likes.” — London Times
“Expertly and sincerely free of cliches or false romantic notions about any subject it addresses, its large spiritual truths
are revealed in the only way they matter: small, intimate experiences. This album comes to the listener as a gift wrapped in tattered paper, making it all the more precious to receive.” — Thom Jurek, AllMusic.com
