The Deep End is the fifth solo album by Susanna Hoffs, released on April 7, 2023, on her own Baroque Folk label.

"[1] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic felt that "The blend of old and new is skillful and handsome, as is the album as a whole; it serves as a testament to Hoffs' taste as a fan and record-maker.

"[4] Commenting that the renditions "sometimes render the songs unrecognizable—in a good way", Moayeri praised Hoff's voice as "immediately recognizable, clear and sweet, hitting all the notes she did some 40 years ago".

[3] Gary Graff also felt that Hoffs's vocals were as good as decades previously, writing that "This latest trip into others' songs is yet another delight, a demonstration of good taste and guts with Hoffs sounding as beguiling as she did lighting "Eternal Flame" or having a "Manic Monday" more than 30 years ago.

"[6] A less effusive review was provided by American Songwriter's Hal Horowitz, although, like Erlewine, he awarded the album 3.5 stars out of 5.
