Chris Trout of Drowned in Sound found she was “a brilliant writer of melodies, even when shackled to a trad blueprint” where “the lyrics are affecting because the imagery Throsby employs is neither too personal and specific… nor too self-consciously ‘poetic’… to communicate much to the listener except that she is in the presence of a Good Writer.”
