The New York Times wrote that Jones's "vocal eccentricities, her swoops and shudders and pucker-sweet coos, seem at odds with the material rather than complicitous."[8] The Calgary Herald noted that "Jones's plaintive, muttering, whispering little-girl voice weaves a web of intimacy around the listener... Still, it's not for every taste."[7]
