- “A folkier, feistier version of another Scottish singer-songwriter – KT Tunstall – Macdonald digs into roots pop while adding some native accents…her rich, resonant voice packs plenty of power and passion.” ***1/2; Critic’s Choice - Chuck Arnold, People
- “…Exuberant in its folksy energy. Her quick guitar and fast-paced lyrics make for a debut that is sure to leave a bounce in your step.” – Kate Leffingwell, Newsweek
- "…Well-crafted pop/rock tracks touch on such contemporaries as KT Tunstall and Coldplay.” Paul Sexton, Billboard
"Mr. Rock n Roll"

4 crazy comments:
Difficult for me to like her music knowing her prior to her receiving any fame and being bitter at the likes of KT Tunstall. Hopefully she's grown up a bit!
Huh? Explain...
She used to post on several bands' message boards that I frequented and came across as bitter toward those who had success that she felt that she was better than and just had a bad attitude all around...as if her shit didn't stink. I've heard some of her stuff and my reaction has been, "meh". Not worth helping in her success with her bad attitude.
Oh. Wow.
Interesting...
I'm not TOTALLY sold, but I still do enjoy it.
