AllMusic | [7] |
Newsday wrote that Baez's "airy soprano is a bit more brittle and edgy these days, but still buoyant." [8] The St. Petersburg Times determined that "Baez's singing, D strong as ever after spending the last six years in voice training, still soars and flutters, but it's more earthy, more soulful." [9]
