    The many perspectives on Goodnight City add up to a dynamic record that speaks to the power of letting others--be they family, friends, idols, alter egos--help pull us out of and realize fuller versions of ourselves.

    Her sixth studio album shows her versatility at its best, its songs not so much genre experiments as joyful costume changes.

    Wainwright nevertheless manages to make the songs her own. [Jan 2017, p.96]

    Her most polished record to date, in every sense of the word.

    Her confident vocal weaves such disparate tales together even as she makes her interests our own.

    Given the long list of contributors, the singularity and cohesion achieved in Goodnight City is something to be applauded. It is also solid evidence that Wainwright’s creative well has not run dry, but rather thrives upon the influence of others.
  7. 60
    There’s something grippingly wide-eyed and manic about her performances here and on the mounting hysteria of Beth Orton’s “Alexandria”, while more reserved shades of mental imbalance are evoked in “Window”, where the petrifying effect of obsession is considered over a stealthy, furtive arrangement.
