''The Austin Chronicle'' called the album "quiet and reflective, numbing and resolute, with writing as simple and straightforward as an ice pick under the ribs." ''The Sunday Times'' wrote that "Songs: Ohia's slug- paced folk-blues owe an obvious debt to the spectral yowling of Will Oldham's Palace Brothers, but ''The Lioness'' still has the power to turn the most brightly lit room a delicate shade of blue."
