Some reviewers were harsh about this album, accusing her of leaning "hard on piano ballads and a whimsical folkish flare."http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=326766433&id=326766426&s=143441&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 However, with the advent of her latest release, Bomb in a Birdcage, opinions of her work seem to be improving.http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=326766433&id=326766426&s=143441&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 "A Bomb In a Birdcage gets with more up-tempo tunes, less predictable arrangements, and a road-honed voice exuding more control on those high-alto Leslie Feist-inspired inflections."http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=326766433&id=326766426&s=143441&ign-mpt=uo%3D6
