Lissie sounds most comfortable in this mode, chugging meticulously forward," giving ''Back to Forever'' 8.4 out of 10 points. ''PopMatters'' writer Steven Horowitz writes: "Lissie makes one want to pump fists in the air and sing along because she always seems to be giving it her all. <...> Not every song on her new album works—just because something is art does not make it good art—but most of them do because she really outs herself out there. Her dignity comes not from holding back but from letting go," giving ''Back to Forever'' 8 out of 10 points. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Back to Forever」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
