[22] The Good Woman Tour begins at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, Wales on 23 September 2021, and finishes at the O2 Academy in Bristol, England on October 12.

[2] Writing for AllMusic, Marcy Donelson wrote: "Despite subtle shifts in arrangements, the songs of Good Woman share a certain world-weariness that's balanced with a refreshing self-assurance that never loses its composure.

"[4] Haydon Spenceley of Clash gave the release an eight out of 10, and said: "Still in place are the ubiquitous beautiful harmonies, clever, sometimes sweet and sometimes biting lyrics and the deceptively powerful musical flourishes that make the band so special, but added to the mix is a dash of increased musical power, undoubtedly from the band but aided by clever production from John Congleton.

"[5] Sean Kerwick of DIY stated: "After such a long time away, 'Good Woman' finds The Staves rejuvenated and inspired, treading new ground while retaining the identity that made them so loveable in the first place.

said: "While Good Woman is not the most notable stop on the Staves' journey, it retains all of their most delectable elements - heart-hitting harmonies, lovely melodies, and moments of lyrical spark - that have come to define their work.

[7] In a review for NME, Ella Kemp gave a four out of five stars, while stating: "The Staves have described as the time that preceded 'Good Woman' as a period of hibernation, and the new album sees the Staveley-Taylor sisters emerge completely rejuvenated.

"[9] Ellen Johnson of Paste praised the band for their "heavenly harmonies and folk instrumentals to craft this enlightened collection of songs, embellishing them with a newfound production flair along the way.
