[8] The album was recorded by Andy Miller at Chem 19 Studios in Hamilton, near Glasgow, Scotland, with Alasdair Roberts, Geof Comings, Jonathan Cargill, and members of Arab Strap.

"[9] The Austin Chronicle called the album "quiet and reflective, numbing and resolute, with writing as simple and straightforward as an ice pick under the ribs.

"[10] The Sunday Times wrote that "Songs: Ohia's slug- paced folk-blues owe an obvious debt to the spectral yowling of Will Oldham's Palace Brothers, but The Lioness still has the power to turn the most brightly lit room a delicate shade of blue.
