Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Шаблон:Metacritic album prose[3] AnyDecentMusic? sums up critical consensus as an 8.1 out of 10, with 19 reviews.[4] Joe Breen of The Irish Times gave the release five out of five stars, writing that it "punch[es] with a dark, almost biblical vengeance but also, importantly, balance vitriol with solace, hellfire with a hand in need" and praising its timely lyrics.[5] In American Songwriter, Hal Horowitz gave the release 4.5 out of five stars, writing that it is arguably her most intense album, ending his review: "By the end of the hour, you'll be wiped out. This is a devastatingly in your face, take no prisoners presentation from Williams and her band that will leave most serious listeners shattered and perhaps shaking. Few albums connect with this much pure emotional fury, let alone those from artists well into their 60s."[6] Dan Nailen of Inlander writes that this album has Williams' most direct lyrics but suffers from several songs having the same tempo.[7]
