Critical reception

edit

Wendy Newcomer from Cash Box wrote, "Loveless’ new single from her upcoming album Trouble With The Truth is delivered with the elan of a great interpreter—loose, soulful and confident. Loveless is an artist who consistently records well-written songs with just the right amount of feisty attitude."[2]
