“Conaghan establishes herself as a world-class vocalist on the opening track, Sister but it is not until later on that she sets herself apart from the bunch.”(cd review - Cerulean Blue - Capital times 2000)

“Occasionally she reminds me of Joni Mitchell circa The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira, and like most non-classical singers her diction is pure demotic. The songs are hooky timeless rather than dated”(The dominion post 2000)

“Time starts in an altogether different vein however. A simple melodious keyboard hints at a strangeness and disquiet that is beautifully added to by Angeline Conaghan's voice, whispered and warm, a fairy tale, witchy.” (Amazon.co.uk review for Novocain 2005) 

“Let your guard down, however, and you'll be plunged straight back into Angeline's eerie, disjunct stream of consciousness, set to a backdrop of dark pads, uneasy electro beats and other sounds so odd that I couldn't begin to guess their origin” . (Bark - sound on sound 2007)
