The album boasts the following reviews:
“…Ginny Johnston would certainly be a welcome addition to any Lillith Fair concert…lots of unexpected chord changes, quirky rhythms and small gems of musical changes. Her band, Mosaic…plays with perfect sensitivity, turning every track into an enchantment.” – Richard Isen, Musicians on the Internet
“Original folk rock, driven by Ginny Johnston’s powerful lyrics and haunting voice. Mosaic’s unique sound comes from its experimental approach to creating new music in semi-traditional forms. This can be heard in the unusual combinations of instruments (…everything from piano, clarinet and viola, to dobro and electric guitar), or in the unexpected turns of musical phrase in their melodies.” – maxmusik
