Joanna Newsom Have One on Me (3-CD)

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Lyrically she leaps forward, spitting archaic, colloquial, funny and profound on the difficulty of love..."
"[S]he simply delves deeper and gives what few artists can deliver: a self-contained world of warmth, crystalline detail, and intimacy..."
"[H]er melodies have become cleaner, her arrangements less mannered, and her singing more straightforwardly heartfelt." -- Grade: A-
"HAVE ONE ON ME is suffused with space, invention and playfulness....It's also exceptionally beautiful..."
Ranked #1 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "The songs -- all 18 -- were impeccably wrought, packed with epiphanies."
"[A] monumental triple album of fabulist balladry, Edenic elation and introspective, Laurel Canyon-infused songsmithery..."
"[T]hough she remains deeply rooted in Celtic instrumentation and classical music structure, the harpist/songwriter now touches on everything from Indian music instrumentation to surprisingly funky country-music blues."
Billboard - "The most powerful tracks combine sparseness and excessive instrumenation....HAVE ONE ON ME is a spacious artistic statement too original to pass up."
Ranked #13 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Bold and subtle, engrossing and bewildering, it was the work of a master."
Paste (magazine) (p.63) - "It's like tumbling into her world and getting lost for weeks....HAVE ONE ON ME is packed with magic."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Her voice has gained depth and she sing with more force and clarity....The bigger difference seems to be the overall mood, which is expansive and welcoming."
