All About Jazz said;

"Since her breakthrough Chanson: The Space in Between (Linn, 2000), vocalist Barb Jungr has mainly released albums of songs by other people... Successful as those albums have been, collectively they have shifted the spotlight from Jungr's own songwriting... On Stockport to Memphis, she tilts the balance back towards her compositions, while still featuring songs by her favorite songwriters. In the process, she has delivered an album that is more autobiographical and personal than any mentioned above. As this album demonstrates, she is maturing like fine wine."
