NO DEPRESSION (USA) "...slow burn ambience, enchanting melodies, languid tempos; themes of affirmation in the face of travail. Bergquist's voice -- subtly emotive, with just a hint of earthy midwestern drawl -- is the perfect instrument."

THE SUNDAY TIMES: 4 Stars (UK) "...intensely personal songs examine the tricky subject of staying together. Bergquist's voice is so strong... Stunning."

UNCUT (UK) "...feels much like a renewal of vows. The vocals of Karin Bergquist add a rich sophistication to piano-led chamber ballads and jazz-inflected folk."

PASTE MAGAZINE (USA) "...emotive, soaring, bittersweet, this is the soundtrack to an evening at home with your oldest friends..."

ALL MUSIC GUIDE (USA) "Over the Rhine bring things back to the heart on Drunkard's Prayer. ...tender, poetic, gracious, deeply moving. Songs like "Hush Now," "I Want You to be My Love," and "Bluer" are fine and varied illustrations where folk, rock and American roots music caress and kiss."

M2 (New Zealand) "With upright bass, piano, acoustic guitars, horns, a few subtle textures plus one amazing voice, Over the Rhine's new songs are often stunningly simple, but always fearless. One of the top albums of the year!"
