Reception

Single 'Mimic The Rain' received limited radio airplay and the album had a generally positive reception.

Faster Louder said 'Carmen's voice saunters all silk and smoke...a magnetically absorbing album'[7] and Alt Media called it 'her best work to date'.[8] Inpress stated ‘It's always been about the voice...beauty and danger, knowing and innocence, sex and longing, and love, both sacred and profane... Loene Carmen's individual mix of torch blues, gothic country, with occasional outbreaks of smoky nightclub has seduced many who hear it. ..She sings it, you believe her. And that's enough’ while J Mag described it as 'a sun-bleached, neon-soaked dusty road trip, stopping at every sleazy smoky roadhouse, cheap hotel and dirty diner on the way'.[9]
