Alan Light wrote in the New York Times: "Relationships between parents and children, between the past and the future, between public and private lives are among the threads running through Ms. Cash's new album. … Its 12 songs were written between the spring of 2003 and the spring of 2005, a period in which Ms. Cash, now 50, lost three parents: her mother, Vivian Liberto Cash Distin; her stepmother, June Carter Cash; and, in between, her father, Johnny Cash. With her characteristic sense of craft and precision, Ms. Cash explores a kaleidoscopic range of experiences related to loss and mortality on 'Black Cadillac,' reaching from when her parents first met through her responses to their passing, her anger, her regrets. … [S]he described the album as 'a map--a geographical map, a spiritual map, an emotional map.' … 'Black Cadillac' flows effortlessly from intimate acoustic moments to bluegrass-inflected songs like 'House on the Lake,' mirroring the scope and ambition of the lyrics" ("Rosanne Cash Walks a Line of Her Own," 1/22/06).
