Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "On her 2004 debut disc Little Things, Toby Lightman demonstrated that she was no small talent. This rewarding follow-up continues to shine a light on the singer-songwriter's knack for making rich, soulful pop. Lightman remains hard to pigeonhole on Bird on a Wire: she smoothly glides from the gospel-tinged 'Don't Wake Me' to the bluesy stomper 'Don't Let Go' and the wistful, folk-inflected ballad 'I'd Be Lost.' First single 'Holding Me Down,' which showcases Lightman's guitar-playing skills and earthy, raspy vocals, brings to mind the rootsy, funky vibe of KT Tunstall's recent hit 'Black Horse & the Cherry Tree' [on Eye to the Telescope, CD/POPULAR/Tunstall]" ("Picks & Pans: Music," 8/7/06, p. 45).
