Paste - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Edwards' graceful, no-frills singing reveals a desire to make every syllable matter. Even the jokes glow with the aura of hard-earned experience."

Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hile 'Oh Canada' is the best of her blustery songs, the gracefully atmospheric 'Buffalo', and the moving, piano-led 'Alicia Ross', are where she truly excels." Q - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Battered by love yet ever hopeful, and with a fetching drawl to match....Best is saved for last with the moodily languid 'Goodnight, California'..."
