Reviews"The sour, melancholic 'Need A Little Time' showed just how Barnett’s writing has matured. Seriously good, then.", "'Need A Little Time’ is a particular highlight, the verses battling up a rhythm section on a sharp incline to the achingly expressive chorus wherein we learn that the break is required 'from me and you.'", "The closing “Sunday Roast” takes the record, and Barnett’s art, to a new dimension. It starts out as a shuffling, dreamy REM reverie of reconciliation.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEELis noisy and way more pissed off than her 2015 debut....unsheathing sharp new earnestness alongside her trademark sabers of sarcasm and penetrating observation.", Included in Spin's "The 51 Best Albums of 2018" -- "'City Looks Pretty' is almost paradoxically catchy, given its subject matter. The melodies and instrumentation are equally agile across the album, pushing forward a set of songs that are as musically confident as they are lyrically despairing.", "Settle Into Tell Me's Crinkled Smarts and Barnett Remains As Observant As Sometimes Demonstrated.", "The album sees Barnett relying more heavily on the cathartic properties of her six-string, crafting escapist vintage Pink Floyd, John Frusciante, and ‘80s power-pop soundscapes...", "Courtney Barnett’s second album is smaller, more introverted than her debut. It’s tentative but with a purpose, songs about what it means to not have -- or need --the right words for everything.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL feels more personal, like opening a window into Barnett’s mind, exposing her vulnerabilities and fears in the process.", "It’S Another Cutting Effort from Modern Rock’S Sharpest Lyricist."
