But ya gotta love and respect Simon for her commitment to continually raising the creative bar- and for serving as such a strong role model for young tunesmiths.

NY Daily News called it "one of her best albums", stating "The Bedroom Tapes finds Simon returning to the sharp-eyed commentary and unflinching candor of her best-loved work of the 70's."
