"CITY OF REFUGE frames Washburn's smoky-sexy vocals with lush string-band arrangements that make the occasional touch of Chinese zither seem natural." -- Grade: B+
Uncut - p.92
3 stars out of 5 -- "CITY OF REFUGE finds her back in Appalachian mode...the songs shaded with fiddle, banjo and dulcimer and borne aloft by Washburn's airy voice."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.109
4 stars out of 5 -- "Still straddling East and West, she delivers country-rock with a Chinese-inflected edge, using everything from a guzheng to Mongolian throat-singers."
