Victoria Williams's endearingly sweet folk narratives gained a national audience when Pearl Jam had a hit with her "Crazy Mary.". In her fluttering childlike voice, even a song titled "U R Loved" is cynic-proof.

ReviewsRanked #17 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll., Included on Jon Pareles' list of the Top 10 Albums Of '94 - "...Ms. Williams has the quavery voice of a sage little girl, an ear for twang and bounce, and a surreal eye for nature and human nature.", "There’s a tenderness and fragility to these tracks that fits perfectly with her idiosyncratic lyrics, filled with an emotional depth, whether she’s singing about her dog, her grandfather, her crazy childhood neighbor or her soon-to-be husband...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...perhaps her finest moment...as singer and songwriter, traverses many genres. Country, folk, blues, Dixieland jazz, gospel, R&B, pop and rock...Combined, those elements create a music that is familiar, yet new...", 3 Stars - Good - "...This collection is rockier and heavier than previous LPs, with Crazy Horse guitars and Memphis brass...if this is a somewhat uneven and rambling hour, her powerful imagination, dissarming openess and touching faith more than compensate...", Highly Recommended - "...LOOSE brings out the nuances of William's songwriting by employing a variety of musical approaches...among those who are humble and loved...that humility is what keeps her innocence--and her music--authentic...", "...her irrepressible singing will be an acquired taste for those comfortable in the middle of the road; think of any number of idiosyncratic male artists, from David Byrne to Tom Waits to Michael Stipe, however, and she suddenly sounds less odd...", 8 - Excellent - "...An unforced mood of luminous folky spirituality prevails, an almost boundless euphoria at magical nature and whimsical humanity....This is a lovely record..."
