In the
Wall Street Journal, Larry Blumenfeld wrote, "Her ideas have grown bolder with each album, and especially with 'Ogresse,' an unreleased cantata for which she wrote the story, lyrics and music... 'Ghost Song' is her boldest act yet. Here, Ms. Salvant displays yet more sonic range and nuance—soaring through intervals, moving nimbly through tricky rhythms, and reveling in pithy turns of phrase. Her voice is singularly arresting, yet it is never a single sound. It's playful, nearly giddy, on "Optimistic Voices" (from
The Wizard of Oz), and then sultry when that song segues into Gregory Porter's 'No Love Dying.' It's a blues holler to start the title track, one of seven original compositions, and nearly soft as a whisper to begin Sting's 'Until.'" ==Track listing==
