Paste Magazine
At times, Seasons threatens to collapse under the weight of so much pathos, but thanks to her singular voice and eccentric songwriting, Brun makes extreme heartache sound particularly inspired.

Spin
Touching on elemental fears and desires, Changing of the Seasons rewards intimate listening--in the final verse of the title track, a lover’s embrace suddenly silences any thoughts of straying.

The New York Times
When she’s supported by little more than her own acoustic guitar Ms. Brun sounds disarmingly secure, if not quite serene.

PopMatters
One who’s well worth your time getting to know.

Slant Magazine
Unlike "Treehouse," "Puzzle" or the melancholic "The Fall," which rank among the singer's best to date, there's not a whole lot at stake, making for a somewhat uneven album.

Under The Radar
Brun’s cracked porcelain soprano is best heard when not overlade with overwrought fragility. [Winter 2008]

Pitchfork
Changing of the Seasons feels like the record where Brun's lack of range catches up to her.
