On Your Own Love Again is the second studio album by American musician Jessica Pratt. It was released on January 27, 2015, through Drag City. It is her only work with the label, as the 2019 follow-up Quiet Signs would be released through Mexican Summer.
The songs on On Your Own Love Again are "dreamlike, radiant" folk songs, recalling musicians like Nick Drake, Angel Olsen and others. They have been seen for playing like acoustic dream pop songs, along with being "whimsically" experimental.
The album was recorded with a four-track, yielding a lo-fi aesthetic that showcases Pratt's "soft" vocals and fingerpicked guitar.[1]
On Your Own Love Again was welcomed with critical applause upon release. On Metacritic, it holds a score of 79 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on 24 reviews.
Fred Thomas for AllMusic lauded the album, praising its songs' "undeniably powerful radiance". Jenn Pelly for Pitchfork called it "gorgeous", seeing it as "more dramatic and distinctive" than her debut. She noted how "its unadorned emotional uncertainty is profound and relatable."
