Richley has a knack for catchy pop hooks and clever lyrics. The c**k-eyed optimism of "Can't Lose Them All" and the cold pessimism of "The Way It Never Was" are good indicators of the mind-set at work here. Her well-grounded vocals are nicely complimented by Hugh Padgham's (Sting, the Police) folk-rock production. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide
