"Another Shelby Lynne album, another masterpiece. This one features some unusual quirks (false starts, background chatter on some tracks) but the same strong vocals and melodies we've come to expect."
"S.F.I.J. is Alanis' best album yet; difficult to get into, it ultimately rewards with its finely crafted, multi-layered songs. Desperately underrated."
"A real surprise: Vanessa, with the help of boyfriend/producer/musician Stephan Jenkins, has grown up with this wonderful album, full of tightly written, performed and orchestrated songs."
"Nelly Furtado's follow-up to her critically acclaimed 'Woah, Nelly!' is a superior work - several genres (alt, country, folk) feature and Nelly is able to come up trumps on them all."
