  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Like Torres' previous album, Silver Tongue takes some time to unfold, but it's well worth it; by fluently expressing the resilience it takes to bounce back from hard times, she comes into her own

  15. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    An album that may not have existed at one point – Scott has talked about how she almost quit music after her experiences with 4AD. It’s a good thing she relented, as Silver Tongue is her most consistent album to date
