    C'Mon Miracle isn't as showy as some of her previous outings, but it does show that Mirah's music works on both a large and small scale.
  2. Dusted Magazine
    80
    Her most self-assured release yet, instantly inviting and comfortable, brimming with a confidence that breeds fast familiarity.
  3. Entertainment Weekly

    She creates an atmosphere of such intimate ease, you feel as if she's singing for you alone. [4 June 2004, p.80]

    Mirah’s ability to paste candy-pop nursery rhymes over voluptuous, macabre arrangements is truly unique and wholly un-matched.
  6. Mojo
    80
    An album of lightness and substance, in perfectly observed amounts. [Oct 2005, p.114]

    Her songbird's voice has never sounded more beautiful than it does here.

    Mirah, it appears, has made the album we've been waiting for.
  10. PopMatters
    80
    This is the most consistently enjoyable album in her young catalogue.
  11. Splendid

    It's classy, but also honest. Not a single emotion seems overplayed or exaggerated; you'll dance and sway to it because each song feels as organic as life, and the life it documents is nicely lit.
  12. Stylus Magazine
    40
    There are few of the stop-in-your-tracks lines or extended metaphors of previous works.
  13. The Guardian
    60
    Too much of the album... drifts along in a sombre haze, languishing in a single tempo, looking up at the sky and seeing only clouds.
  14. Tiny Mix Tapes
    70
    Though C'mon Miracle doesn't have the truly standout songs that made Advisory Committee so great, it is still a consistent piece of work that delivers on quality songwriting and musicianship throughout.
  15. Uncut
    60
    Moments of startling beauty emerge from the fuzz-drenched experiments. [Sep 2005, p.112]
