  3. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    A varied and largely successful meeting of minds, this is peer-review done right, and the prospect of it influencing future solo outings from Case, lang and Veirs is golden
    Read Review

  4. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It's refreshing to hear three unique personalities come up with something so egoless and self-assured in its own right

    Together, they’re a force, trading off on leads and joining together on backing vocals

    The music is full of lush strings, harmonies and striking lyrical imagery, creating portraits of worlds and lives within which to get lost

  10. 8.0 |   The Independent

    An album of rare beauty and intelligence, rendered in imaginative arrangements containing sometimes startling harmonies
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    1,000 Miles Away is lang at her most languorous; Best Kept Secret is a jangly delight from Veirs; and Case is simply majestic on Down, Supermoon and Atomic Number. Gorgeous harmonies, too
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Case/lang/veirs have hit upon a sound that is gentle yet resonant, and wrestled out of three fiercely independent careers, an alt-country record of depth and scope

    Showcases the talents of three powerhouses
    Read Review

    Engaging, cosmic, alt-country album from the harmonic trio who each make their remarkable presence felt

  15. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Tasteful, effective backing is provided throughout, with occasional woodwinds and strings joining acoustic guitar and percussion
    Read Review

  16. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The album's strings, horns, and an athletic and diverse rhythm section amplify the emotion of the songs throughout
    Read Review

  17. 8.0 |   Q

    A special kind of harmony. Print edition only

  18. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Tonally, the record is a balancing act, its songs at once poised and powerful, the arrangements both pristine and warm-blooded. Print edition only

  19. 8.0 |   Uncut

    This fruitful collaboration succeeds because it makes room for three distinct voices and songwriting styles. Print edition only

  20. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Classy, classic pop from sisterly supergroup
    Read Review

  21. 8.0 |   Spin

    It’s not at all certain that this lovely, gentle record will ever get a follow-up — fortunately, it already sounds damn-near timeless
    Read Review

  22. 7.0 |   Earbuddy

    Those with a sweet tooth for soft rock will gobble this up with considerable glee
    Read Review

  23. 7.0 |   All Music

    A fascinating, rewarding experiment that deserves to be repeated

  24. 7.0 |   The Music

    Should probably be called Awesome Ladies of Song
    Read Review

  25. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Certainly a cut above whatever record is playing in your local Starbucks at the moment, but it’s also content to steer clear of grand statements in favor of something more real-life
    Read Review

  26. 6.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Collaborations among giants are always a joy, and the energy here is worth witnessing if only for the blend of these powerful voices in one mix
    Read Review

  27. 6.0 |   NOW

    Each woman's distinct singing and songwriting style is front and centre, but their voices blend beautifully
