Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Sinéad O’Connor’s first album comes on like a banshee wail across the bogs.
-
All Music
A thoroughly impressive debut -- and it's all the more impressive when you realize she only topped it with its immediate successor, before losing all focus.

Sputnik Music
Classic.
-
Slant Magazine
One of the most captivating (and promising) debuts in rock history, and one that O’Connor has impressively managed to match or exceed more than once.
-
Billboard
'The Lion and the Cobra' Introduced Us to Her Fearless Voice.
-
Steemit
It's easy to forget just how good she can be...this album preserves that.
-
Flocked Media
On a scale from one to ten, this album deserves a seven and a half. The reasons for the rating are that the songwriting is excellent on most tracks, but there are only nine tracks on the album to start, and two of them weren’t worth the time put into them, in my opinion.

OO Cities
O’Connor lets loose with a wild abandon we haven’t seen enough of since.
-
Only Solitaire
Upon the first try, pretty much everything works.
-
TN2 Magazine
Having been rendered emotionally raw by the young woman held within these tracks, one aches for the singer to rediscover the assuredness of her past self, once again embodying the lion of her debut.
-
Tampa Bay Times
A gem.
-
The New York Times
Irish singer shows her vulnerability.

Sinead O'Connor the person may be a whack job but Sinead O'Connor the singer is nothing short of INCREDIBLE.
