"Libby Kirkpatrick jubilantly invokes the goddess herself in the first track of "Goodnight Venus", a vibrant tribute to love, from romantic to brotherly: "We're no more separate from this earth than we are from each other." Kirkpatrick shines superbly on her Ricky-Lee Jones-like jazzy romp, "Vaulted heart", with its swelling trumpets and soars. The haunting, childlike "Wake Me Up" recalls early Suzanne Vega and the song's transition from finger-picking to spirited electric guitar is seemless. "To A Child" is a gleeful-yet-funky-yet-sincere invitaion to remain upbeat about life. Singer/songwriter Kirkpatrick shares compelling stories no matter what the genre." - C.J. Carrillo Harp Magazine "In some ways Libby Kirkpatrick would have been a much better candidate than Sarah McLachlan to lead Lilith Fair. Like McLachlan, she is a powerful female songstress and singer, but even more than her Canadian counterpart, Kirkpatrick laces her lyrics with a matter-of-fact style of new age cosmology and feminism altogether different from the Women in Song torch variety so popular of late. The singer's major label debut is an adult alternative meets roots record, and don't let the fact that it was recorded by the man behind the Dixie Chicks last album scare you; slick new country this ain't. The album's title track is a close cousin to "Building a Mystery" but with far more involved imagery and text layers - something Sarah never quite mastered. Kirkpatrick's production throughout is clean and at times buoyant." - Brent Hagerman, Exclaim Magazine
