- Apr 27, 2026In the grueling journey to reawaken a suppressed voice, she’s found another, one that will sustain her into the next season of her life as a musician, as a storyteller, as a woman. The narrative that frames In Times of Dragons is complex and intentional, to be sure, but it isn’t the whole story, not by a mile.
- Apr 30, 2026The vital In Times of Dragons whisks Amos back to hallowed days, penetrating the soul and shaking foundations in a manner that hasn't been heard since Pele, Choirgirl, Scarlet, or Posse.
- Classic Rock MagazineApr 30, 2026The whole thing breathes fire. [Jun 2026, p.76]
- UncutApr 27, 2026While all this makes for a rich, dense and sometimes overwhelming offering, Amos still ensures there's some light amid all this darkness. [May 2026, p.25]

- Apr 29, 2026It is a decent entry in her catalog, but by no means essential.
