"The album adds up to a scrapbook of wandering and loss, drawing what consolations it can from music." - New York Times
"A fresh and wily spin on old sounds and ideas." - Pitchfork
"Magic voice, the next big thing in music!" - Top40 Charts
"A voice that belongs to a spiritual daughter of greats like
Lucinda Williams and
Linda Thompson. The future is bright with young women like Segarra breaking through." - Slate
