Thom Jurek of AllMusic writes that "Jarosz reaches through her musical and personal histories with vulnerability and willingness. She comes out on the other side with songs that possess narrative savvy, melodic invention, and a refreshing sense of self-assuredness".^[1] Jim Fusilli of the Wall Street Journal finds her "country–flavored folk songs" to be "direct, unadorned and thoroughly beautiful".^[2]
