‘…this is road-house blues-rock with twang, like Bonnie Raitt in her prime or Lucinda Williams circa World Without Tears. Steel’s songwriting is assured and her lyrics show relaxed humour on tracks such as Capitalist System and the brash No Praises. Always a fine singer, Steel has become a vocal stylist of distinction.’ – Jeff Glorfeld, The Age
‘…the kind of force of nature that knocks down flimsy buildings and men… Steel owns this territory” - Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald
‘Steel’s authorative voice still bears the influences of singers like Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris; deep vibrato shimmering with undeniable conviction.’ – Martin Jones, Rhythms Magazine
