Some critical praise for Paper Airplane:
“Otherworldly vocals and musicianship…these performances will linger in your wounded soul” (4 Stars)
USA Today
“Paper Airplane rises to the impossibly high bar set by its predecessors to form what may well be the finest album Krauss has ever released.”
Paste Magazine
“Few singers do plaintive as well as Alison Krauss, with the whispers, feathery quavers and reedy resignation in her voice….Union Station’s arrangements, immaculate and drumless, hint at an old-timey roots without a glimmer of purism, and they never sugarcoat the sorrow.”
Jon Pareles in the New York Times
“Exactingly performed and lushly produced, Airplane exudes a bone-deep tranquility…”
Entertainment Weekly
