    The record succeeds on the strength of Williams' tremendously appealing musical personality and her winning songs.

    Unfortunately, the heavy-handed folk-pop production... doesn't serve Williams well here.... In general, the overwrought keyboards and Steve Holley's percussion... could use a good slapdown.

    Regrettably, Williams fourth album continues her "progression" from convincing acoustic confessional to mild, gutless rocking with sessioneers who lack inspiration. [Nov 2001, p.130]

    Smart, funny and unabashedly feminine....a bouncy and infectious record.

    Each of her previous three records has its charms... The Green World is no exception. [Oct. 2000, p.182]

    Williams weaves beguiling, thought-provoking melodies, and turns each track into an artfully produced scenario.
  9. Billboard
    80
    The album's simple, pleasing blend of acoustic guitar-based folk music belies the complex nature of her lyrics, and it's a winning combination.
