Review Excerpts
- "With a faithful version of Sandy Denny's classic Who Knows Where The Time Goes and a strung-out bluesy soul take on Aretha Franklin's It Ain't Fair, this is an EP that makes the humble cover version feel quietly essential".Metro.co.uk: Cat Power Dark End of the Street (December 8, 2008)
- "These six cuts were apparently deemed unworthy of inclusion on Jukebox, Cat Power's covers LP released earlier this year, which wasn't terribly impressive itself..."Pitchfork: Dark End of the Street
