    It is one of the most intimate records in her catalog, and the entire band seems locked into the introspective intensity that marks her best songwriting.

    The 11 original compositions here are full of warm compassion and ripe wisdom. [Sep 2020, p.27]

    By using her own empathic band for The Dirt and the Stars, Carpenter was able to erase all boundaries between singer and song; she entered their experiences nakedly, bravely, and completely, making this one of her standout albums.
