Tim Grierson's favorable review: "... has the late-night vibe of sleepless hours riddled with anxiety, asking questions but getting only silence in response. It's emotional and direct in a way she's rarely attempted before."

Chris Dahlen's review, rating of 7.6: "...it's hard to fault Mann for repeating a formula that works this well, or for making a record this focused."

Nathan Rabin's review: "...A marvel of tasteful bombast, adding touches of mournful slide guitar and occasional strings, but always keeping the focus on Mann's voice and evocative lyrics."

Joshua Klein's review: "It's no pick-me-up, but an effort like 'Lost in Space' is precisely the type of project that creative liberty affords."
