Senior writer Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly writes that "Susan
Sandberg hits all the right sweet tart chords with her expertly produced
and played album." Request Magazine, which profiled Minneapolis
singer/songwriter Susan in its "Great Unknowns" section, calls
her "the strong contender to succeed Liz Phair and Alanis Morissette,"
and describes her music as "pretty melodies with gouging power
chords resulting in melodic tunes you can't dislodge from your head."
The Minneapolis Star Tribune commented on her "poetic flair"
and "keen sense of pop rhythm that lets her songs cascade or slowly
burn." People Magazine wrote: "A luminous, intelligent movie
star," but they were talking about Susan Sarandon.
