[Her] penchant for pretension remains irksome: the dot in her name, the cringey album title, the worthy lyrics and constant namechecking of soul greats. [December 2002, p.96]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
The impression is of a group who have got too good at sounding like themselves. [Oct 2002, p.110]- Q Magazine

This unabashedly jolly outing manages to be both simultaneously charming and irritating. [Feb 2003, p.106]- Q Magazine
-
- Critic Score
An album largely split between moments of hushed intimacy and gonzoid rocksers that tend to pitch themselves between The Replacements, Tom Petty and -- presumably unwittingly -- U2 circa War. [Oct 2002, p.101]- Q Magazine

While no disaster, the enterprise does smack of Vonda Shepard's coffee shop warbling. [Jan 2003, p.121]- Q Magazine
-
- Critic Score
The occasional bit of mannered filler slows things up slightly, but elsewhere all is groovy and enigmatic hauteur. [Dec 2002, p.107]- Q Magazine

Their shift towards a more traditional heavy metal aesthetic seems more a natural progression than an act of desperation. [Nov 2002, p.100]- Q Magazine

If you can get over the voice--and it is not a lovely thing--Time Changes Everything at least has curiosity value. [Oct 2002, p.104]- Q Magazine

A marvellous, surprising comeback from a forgotten talent. [Mar 2003, p.103]- Q Magazine

The effect is spoiled by noodly, indifferent tracks such as We Meet At Last. [Aug 2002, p.128]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
Adamson's not abandoned the scary swing tunes that made David Lynch a fan... merely added another gear. [Oct 2002, p.100]- Q Magazine

This friskier, fresher take on Evelyn's previous fare is especially well judged bearing in mind that the last thing the world needs is another chill-out album. [Sep 2002, p.111]- Q Magazine
-
- Critic Score
She's utterly beguiling, a fresh presence at last in singer-songwriter land. [Jun 2003, p.95]- Q Magazine

White it can still sound like samples waiting to be made into songs, on It's Not Me and Six Pack they reveal a canny knack with almost Motown-esque pop hooks. [Oct 2002, p.107]- Q Magazine

A few too many of these songs follow an all-too-familiar formula -- slow-burning introduction building to a crashing finale -- but on Still Tonight, Lately and last year's single Til The End, the bluster melts away to reveal Haven's passionately beating heart.- Q Magazine
