• “… Eliza delivers a fizzing firework display full of colourful narratives and big characters… sends you home whistling. It’s quite a party" Mojo Magazine

• "It’s a fizz-bang jamboree bag of an album exploding with ideas, unexpected tangents and corking story songs." fRoots

• "Vocally and lyrically, this is Carthy’s strongest album. Add a beautifully designed CD package ..and you have one of the most startlingly original albums of the past year" Dirty Linen

• "From the ethereal wonder of Lavenders .......the experimentation works. Tha fact that it works is partly due to the musicianship...it can also be put down to Eliza's magnificent voice - one of the finest you will ever hear. Dreams of Breathing Underwater is a brilliant album that deserves applause. This album shows just why she is one of music's, and not just folk's, most important and innovative artists." BBC Online

• "Her most sophisticated album yet and one destined to win her a whole new set of admirers – the care and invention on display is striking." Observer Music Magazine

• "The twice-Mercury-nominated singer’s eighth solo album might just be her boldest, most varied, most wild adventure yet. First up is Follow The Dollar which packs a solid rock punch. Rows Of Angels has a hip-hop vibe. Mr Magnifico is a riot of mariachi horns and Lavenders is washed with ravishing contemporary atmospherics. This is the work of a wonderful artist who refuses to stand still."
½ stars The Sun

• "It’s effortlessly confident, wildly varied and almost impossible to categorise. Magnificent."
