Libby Kirkpatrick is so talented that I can't believe she's not taking the country by storm. Her track "Crying" on Goodnight Venus blows me away. I heard it once on the radio, and I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. It's got one of the best choruses ever written, and this woman can do anything with her voice. She's a little bit Ani DiFranco, a little bit Susan Tedeschi, but really all her own.

"A fluid, dark, utterly beautiful record. Kirkpatrick’s breathtaking, agile voice and fearless delivery take this already solid set of songs and lift them into the stratosphere. Conjuring heartbreaking voices from Rickie Lee Jones to PJ Harvey and Cat Power, she keens, howls, croons and chirps her way through smart contemporary pop, brooding folk and luscious, pulsating laments. The sonic textures of Goodnight Venus are as deep and luxurious as the content of her lyrics. Standouts “Circus,” “To a Child,” and “Vaulted Heart” illustrate Kirkpatrick’s ease with lyrical complexity and mind-bending melody and harmony. Patty Griffin, watch your back."

"Goodnight Venus is her best work yet and shows that Libby Kirkpatrick is a maturing songwriter and performer, who will surely be a force to be reckoned with in the singer songwriter scene. She has a range of emotion here from lively and rocking to haunting and bluesy. I'm hard-pressed to say which my favorite tracks on this album are, as all of them have their charms. "Goodnight Venus" is a strong, complex, energetic and captivating start to the album. "Vaulted Heart" reinforces that with a more straightforward piece of folk rock. There are few singer songwriter/folk fans that this album won't appeal to."- Neile Graham, Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music
