CDNOW's, Drew Wheeler says, "This ambitious, expansive effort from Les Sampou shows how the Boston blues-folkie has graduated into the creation of more complex tunes, with a broader-based appeal. Her song craft is evident from the mounting, stirring harmonies of the glistening tune "Hanging By a Thread"; the yearning, multitracked vocals and pure-pop guitars of "I Want You"; and the dramatic, declarative strains of her admirable folk-rocker "Same Fine Line." Wiry guitars attend the bluesy stomp of "Sitting on Jupiter," which carries a barely perceptible strain of Brecht/Weill-styled drama, and her blues background comes to the foreground on "Afraid of the Dark," with her Bonnie Raitt-like delivery. But "Baby" finds Sampou accompanied solely by piano in an emotional, torchy duet. To some ears, this potent pairing may offer one prediction of her vast, creative future."
