Walk Through Fire

All Music 4/5 An extraordinary record, one designed to be part of a grand musical tradition, and it contains enough emotion and imagination to earn its place within that lineage.

The Observer 3/5 It’s a perfect period production that only occasionally tempts the listener to wonder how much more affecting Yola’s songs might be if she turned her attention from “whip-poor-wills” and “the grocery store” to landscapes closer to home.

Slant 3.5/5 Yola seems capable of not only expertly mimicking the sounds of the past, but also creating something that will itself stand the test of time.

Pop Matters 9/10 The album includes a retro, vintage quality in its sonic range, sounding as though it was recorded decades ago and went unreleased to great loss ... It captures you immediately.
