Has a lightness—and even creative joy—that makes it a thoroughly enjoyable listen

The Quietus
Amos has, at the age of 50, found an artistic voice that sounds entirely natural and unforced

Pretty Much Amazing
Folks will either freak out over this album or abhor its very existence, and that is exactly what makes it so good. For the first time in 12 years, Tori Amos isn’t trying to please anyone

The Music
A return to her inimitable contemporary style that largely reflects the stripped-bare piano and vocal of her early career

A mystical and vulnerable album, one that she most definitely couldn’t have written 10 years ago

PopMatters
Take 1: A mature and self-assured album, not clouded with unnecessary concepts or tied down by some pretentious and under-thought overarching message.
Take 2: Perhaps the record’s boldest move is how unflinchingly Amos confronts the realities of being a wife, mother, and, most harrowingly, a middle-aged woman in the viperous music industry http://bit.ly/1jBZEWk

More likely to thrill old fans rather than win new ones, but her voice has rarely sounded as powerful or pure

The Arts Desk
Although many of its songs - and its striking cover - were inspired by visual art, the album shies sway from committing to the concepts that have characterised her recent work

Consequence Of Sound
It pushes the boundaries of what we expect from older female artists by sheer force of will, and succeeds by embracing an expansive scope

If Unrepentant Geraldines is indeed visual art, it's more of a polite Norman Rockwell than a vomit-stained Sherman. The former goes great with dinner, but I await the gastric upset of the latter
