Reception

According to the review aggregator Metacritic , Long Time Coming received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 78 out of 100 from 4 critic scores. [1] In Glide Magazine , Jim Hynes praised the mix of genres on Long Time Coming, stating that "Ferrell’s unique approach and broad sonic palette will have this album garnering plenty of attention" and predicted that it would be on "several year’s end best lists". [2] In Paste , Andy Crump scored this release a 7.6 out of 10, stating that it "weaves a melancholic kind of magic with that mythological invocation" that "feels refreshingly forward". [3] Editors at Pitchfork Media scored this release 7.6 out of 10 and critic Brad Sanders praised the vocals, which retain the "wildness" of Ferrell's two independently released albums, alongside the professionalism of her backing musicians, ending his review stating, "for someone whose career started in railroad cars and alleyways, the luxuries of a Nashville studio sound great on her". [4] At PopMatters , Chris Conaton scored this release a 7 out of 10, writing that Ferrell's "voice has a lot of body to it and just enough of a twang to make it easy for her to sell this variety of classic styles she’s trying out" and her songwriting "shows a lot of ability to shift through these different genres".
