Production

edit

The album was produced by Roche and Stewart Lerman, and contains appearances from Jules Shear and Loudon Wainwright III, among others.[8]

Critical reception

edit

AllMusic wrote that "producers Stewart Lerman and Roche have just the right touch with her heartfelt and strong folk music; it sings out rather than sits back sounding quaint -- no easy task for a voice as sweet and old-fashioned as Roche's."[2] SF Weekly thought that "Roche sings out strong rather than getting played down in a creaky, back porch mix."[9] The Morning Call called the album a "much brighter second solo record," writing that it "has a stardust shuffle, a bluegrass shuffle and a bundle of healthy romantic compromises."[10]
