”Canadian Girl can certainly be regarded as an unqualified artistic success…its 13 songs evoke the spirit and beauty of Canada’s natural and human landscape, largely without wandering into the realm of the precious and self-conscious.” Ste-Croix is a “…born storyteller and celebrated onstage raconteur…the voluable singer (did we mention she is a wonderful vocalist) …a true Canadian Girl.” Alan Kellogg, Penguin Eggs/the folk, roots and world music magazine.
“The entire album is incredible. People just don’t make albums like this anymore.”

“…the songs are of strong quality throughout. In the end, it turns out to be a high-quality celebration of the folk-and-roots community of the country. “
REVIEW- CBC • East Coast Music with Bob Mersereau
Ste-Croix is “…blessed with a warm, inviting alto and an intuitive feel for how the human heart works.”

“…a great album … Ste-Croix captures the character of each region. Thus, “You’ve Already Got What You Need has some thrilling aboriginal vocals by the Northwest Territories’ Leela Gilday, and the track, “Harvest,” recorded in Prince Edward Island oddly sounds like something Stompin’ Tom Connors would have done. Her best album.”
“With her rich voice and evocative lyrics, Bonnie Ste-Croix is about to cement her position as one of Canada’s premier singer/songwriters with her new CD…Ste-Croix blends emotions and imagery in a way that feels both universal and intensely personal. There are subtle flavours of Canada’s varied and rich musical culture, while the overall whole remains distinctly folk and roots Canadiana.”
“It’s such a thorough survey of the country’s cultural geography, the government should give every new Canadian a copy.”
