Reviews:
Music Connection, February, 2003
A multi-award-winner with her finger on the pulse of female pop-rock, Smart''s writing is strong and memorable and her performances are skilled. There is so much quality here..."
Orange County Weekly, January, 2003
"We like her because she seems to change modes with each song... the title track kicks in, a rapturous, gritty tune... it''s terrifyingly good, a perfect meshing of Smart''s summery. sweet-and-sour/tough-and-tender voice that tumbles over loud, strangly guitars and skull-spanking drum rolls, shying away from anything remotely wimpy. There are several other choice cuts here too, which makes us wonder where she has been hiding herself all this time..."
Live Magazine, January 2003
"Niki has found the ability to touch the core of those who are fortunate enough to hear her. She pains an emotional, magical picture with words..."
