"The trail meanders through towering evergreens, over a creek and beside a waterfall." 这条小径蜿蜒穿过高耸的常青树丛，越过小溪，抵达瀑布旁。 — Jim Ryan, The Oregonian, 7 Feb. 2018

"Instead of hooks or choruses, there were intensities, pulses, sung words that meandered and then dissolved into crystalline sound. They were barely songs. But they were enough. The listener got the impression that language was insufficient to express her highs and lows." 没有抓耳旋律，也没有副歌，（在比约克的音乐里）有的只是力度、节拍以及起先不着边际但随后又融入清澈声音的唱词。 它们几乎算不上歌曲，但这样也已经足够。听众们会形成这样的印象：她的起起伏伏，不足以用语言表达。 — Hua Hsu, The New Yorker, 4 Dec. 2017
