UncutJan 14, 2025Irrefutably the most far-reaching representation of all things Nyro. .... A heavyweight coffee-table book completes a formidable package. [Jan 2025, p.49]

Feb 4, 2025The five live CDs show Nyro’s charismatic ability to connect with her audience. She comes off as alternatively shy and bold as the music frees her to act spontaneously. The live versions of the songs hold up well. The collected rarities are just icing on the cake for the completist. There are no great revelations or disappointments here. After 18 CDs, one has a strong sense of the artist and her work.
