“the perfect nexus of country roots, smart lyricism, and pop sensibility…mature but current, accentuates her vocal strengths with the little crack in her voice at the end of phrases, and should be considered for all those big awards once they roll around again.” – Saving Country Music
“this album further proves her talent and respect for country music, and that she is here to stay as one of the all-around, absolute best in the mainstream part of the genre.” – Whiskey Riff
“A feverishly creative artist unafraid to bare her soul, the Kentucky-born talent once again proves her prowess with her fourth album, Hummingbird. This album is a testament to her ability to blend raw emotion with intricate storytelling, solidifying her place as a force in country music.” – All Country News
