Reviews:
"Although the original pressing was a solid recording it’s no match for this 45-rpm, 180-gram, double-LP from ORG. Bernie Grundmans remastering has smoothly unlocked the air, treble bloom, and taut bass too often hidden on the original and the dimensionality and image focus are now superb." Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, February 2013
In the original, where Mitchell’s voice often disappears in the mix, shes now out front and center, with a creaminess that I’ve never experienced before. There’s just more space everywhere; more bass weight and a huge soundstage in all three dimensions. All of the harshness in the original is gone. The additional space in the recording now lets you really hear the genius in the arrangements; if you thought you knew this record before, you are in for a number of sonic treats upon listening to the ORG pressing." Jeff Dorgay, TONEAudio, October 2010
"Bernie Grundman's remastering has smoothly unlocked the air, treble bloom, and taut bass too often hidden on the original - and the dimensionality and image focus are now superb." Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, May/June 2011
“On her first new studio album of original material in five years and her debut for Geffen Records, Joni Mitchell achieved more of a balance between her pop abilities and her jazz aspirations, meanwhile rediscovering a more direct, emotional lyric approach. The result was her best album since the mid-'70s.” AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann
