==Critical Reception==
Ned Raggett from Allmusic called it "one of the strongest, and maybe even the strongest, record she has put out."
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "B", writing how Amos "works with an astounding range of sound, from tiny wisps to the outer limits of sheer noise, with detours into pure whimsy — an offbeat waltz, say, or the bouncing beat of simple good — time rock & roll."
Marie Elsie St. Leger from Rolling Stone gave it a four-in-a-half rating, saying that the album "still doesn’t match Amos’ riveting, piano-only live performances, but it sure comes close."
Writing for the Chicago Tribune, Brad Webber wrote: "There are deeper messages beyond the 30-year-old songstress' tough veneer, though there's no way around the latent feminism."
