Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
She’s not falling apart on this record — she’s holding herself together — and it’s infinitely more terrifying that way.
-
All Music
Every so often, she manages to pull off a number that shows why her first two albums were so startling and captivating.
-
Golden Plec
Radical and progressive, ‘Universal Mother’ is a uniquely Irish album delivered with gusto by a uniquely Irish voice.
-
Rynosoft
She has once again proven herself to be a great songwriter and that she chooses the songs she doesn't write very well. What is really attractive is that each album has been almost completely different than the one prior to it.

Daily Vault
Very well may be her finest album ever.

People
Universal Mother includes some of O’Connor’s most affecting work since her Grammy-nominated 1987 debut, The Lion and the Cobra.
-
Entertainment Weekly
Interweaving meditations on her late mother and her own maternity, O’Connor finds metaphors for religion, reproductive rights, and even the infantilization of Ireland.

At first listening, the songs may sound repetitious. However, this is one of those albums that you have to listen to a few times before you really appreciate it. The songs mentioned are the ones that reveal the multiple ranges of her voice.
