Rolling Stone - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "These are low-fi home recordings she made in 2006 and 2007, casually plucking her acoustic guitar. The LP has the same winsome vibe as 'The Moon Song,' her Oscar-nominated theme from HER."
CMJ - "[S]he decidedly chose the feminine end of her musical ying-yang, opting for quiet, confounding introspection..It's one of the most interesting moves of her career."
Paste (magazine) - "Tracks like the gorgeously simple 'Comes the Night' use a single pulsing note to frame O's heartfelt, muted croons."
Clash (Magazine) - "There's a certain symmetry between the nature of the relationships that O sings about and the unadorned numbers featured on CRUSH SONGS: both are barren, drenched with fuzz, yawning with possibility."
