"On her appropriately titled and long-awaited follow-up to the 1995 Don't Look Down, Bissex turns her naturally sweet voice into an expressive instrument of irony and occasional rage. On "What's Right," she brings a knowing wink to an erotic dancer's defiant defense of her lifestyle, Stacy Starkweather's trebly bass carrying melody in the style of Jaco Pastorius, and Gabe Jarrett's lively and innovative percussion intelligently accenting the vocals. This instrumental approach is also effective on "In the Middle," a simple and remarkably upbeat song about death, loss, and acceptance, and "In the Magazines," an exploration of the development of a young woman's self image amidst a torrent of media images. The gentleness of Bissex's trademark a cappella performances on "For Florence" and "December Moon" render the bitter gush of resentment in "Passion" all the more shockingly credible, the offhand despair of "Angel" all the more harrowing."
