Entertainment Weekly

Lovely, heartbreaking, and just diffident enough to get perspective on this bittersweet old world

All Music Guide

What's most heartening is that Harris is not only making some of the finest music of her career at a time when many artists would be treading water, but she's delightfully confounding our expectations at the same time. ...more

Entertainment Weekly

With themes like loss and longing, Stumble Into Grace hits blue notes but rarely stumbles. Emmylou Harris wrote most of the songs, and she furnishes them with a ghostly sparseness.

The Guardian

Subtle exercises in pushing genre boundaries, these (mostly self-penned) songs deal in profundity without resort to cliche, and they deserve better than to have the life polished out of them....read the complete review at The Guardian

The A.V. Club

Emmylou Harris established her country credentials early in her career, when she joined Gram Parsons to sing backup on his two monumental solo albums, 1972's G.P. and 1973's Grievous Angel. But in spite of the crystalline twang she brought to Parsons'...read the complete review at The A.V. Club
