    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   Uncut

    A melancholic album, but a determined, thoughtful one. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    She shines a light under some very dark roots. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   The FT

    The music is slow-burning country-rock and roots music, all lightly plucked banjo, reflective piano melodies and dark riffs, the measured tempo making every second count

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Having enjoyed a successful songwriting partnership with Canadian rocker Bryan Adams for years, maybe it’s finally time for one of Peters’ own albums to hog the spotlight

  6. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    If Blackbirds doesn't always feel comfortable in the company of the great American songbook, it's because Peters isn't as gifted a songsmith as she is a wordsmith
