- "The trumpet and flugelhorn accents of Danny Levin were a special factor, lending lots of soulful heft to the tunes...The quiet ballad "Nothing But a Miracle" was enhanced by Levin's buttery flugelhorn lines, supporting Birch's crystalline vocal. The lost love ballad "Fire Escape" was another example where Birch utilized a bare bones arrangement to highlight her warm vocal tones with Levin, this time on trumpet, adding tart counterpoint...A heart-stirring vocal, over just guitar, opened "Forgiveness," before a searing Levin trumpet bridge brought it all into a gospel-colored rocking conclusion... The easy pop-soul of "Photograph" was the final encore, with Levin's fluglehorn providing a link to the a capella, gospel-clapalong coda that turned the old rock venue into a congregation."
