Trouser Press wrote that the album "is grave and serious, sung with aching intensity and arranged with drawing-room sophistication." [14] The Sun Sentinel noted that "Carson has pared down the music to low acoustic levels so that her delicate voice and vision pierce through... It's a beautiful downer." [15] The Washington Post deemed Where It Goes "polished and pretty, if a bit commonplace." [16] Rolling Stone said that "this is an intimate late-night album of amatory post-mortems, with elegant ballads and art songs surveying the debris with a sharp, unforgiving eye." [13] LA Weekly determined that Carson's voice is "rather small but blessedly free of soul-and-fire affectation." [17] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the songs "internal landscapes as soundtracks to a larger consciousness". [12] The Rocket labeled Carson's soprano "the voice of a slightly disturbed and weary angel". [18]
