Reviews :
"You'll also hear in Sills' melodic constructions echoes of other young musicians of that time especially Jackson Browne, but Sill establishes here her own voice. You will hear through her imagery, religious and otherwise, a longing for normalcy and redemption, as well as betrayal and other of the often sad and empty experiences Sill endured in her life ... The more you learn of Sills' short, tragic life, the more you will appreciate the beauty and delicate imagery that fill these two albums. ... So you have a long forgotten gem (though an album still revered a friend tells me by many of today's top young L.A. area talents), engineered by the great Henry Lewy, superbly reissued on double 45 RPM vinyl cut from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and Tip-On gatefold jacket packaged too. ... Originals regularly go for more than the cost of this Intervention reissue and they do not sound as good." Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com
« Judee Sill's debut album (as well as the debut of the Asylum label) heralded a major new talent in the airy, contemporary folk world of the early '70s. The album employed the production skills of Sill's ex-husband Bob Harris, as well as ex-Turtle, ex-Leaves Jim Pons, and Graham Nash (on the album's sole single, "Jesus Was s Crossmaker"). Judee Sill featured all original compositions, many of which relied on Sill's own brand of cosmological Christian imagery to make their point. By turns spare and lavishly orchestrated, there is still a cohesive feel to all of the album; her lyrics are exceptionally poetic (to the point of being almost flowery) and her voice is smooth enough to bear heavy overdubbing with itself, giving every song a shimmery feel. The essence of the music is folk, the execution pop: the songs feel like a comfort blanket, a statement of hope from a troubled soul. » AllMusic Review by Alex Stimmel
