Reviews were positive: "Working with Nashville musician Andrew Brassell and producer Mitchell Froom, Hoffs creates an intimate and sweet album that frames her tender vocals with subtle arrangements that trade the jangle of the Bangles for an autumnally rich chamber pop sound.
Working with Nashville musician Andrew Brassell and producer Mitchell Froom, Hoffs creates an intimate and sweet album that frames her tender vocals with subtle arrangements that trade the jangle of the Bangles for an autumnally rich chamber pop sound...It's pretty rare that someone would make the best record of her career so far into it; Hoffs has done it, though, and Someday is an album perfect for not only her fans, but also fans of well-crafted, emotionally true adult pop.
"[1] Slant Magazine noted that "Susanna Hoffs’s affinity for the music of the ’60s has informed her work with the Bangles, her “Sid n Susie” collaborations with Matthew Sweet, and her sporadic solo career, but she’s never recorded as note-perfect an homage to the lush pop of that era as she has on Someday.
Hoffs is a classicist at heart, and, nearly 30 years into her career, she’s never sounded as natural and at ease as she does here...above all else, the prevailing tone of Hoffs’s work on Someday is one of sincerity, making the album a moving homage to the music she grew up with.
"[4] American Songwriter stated that Hoffs' "latest self-released effort marks a long overdue return to her own pop music career with triumphant results...Someday is the perfect soundtrack for a summertime rainy day that doesn’t overreach or become self-indulgent, but fulfills its goal of a delightfully enjoyable pop record.
