Paste Magazine: The Forgotten Arm: Dave Sims' review: "...fulfills the cinematic potential Mann’s songs have always possessed."
Pitchfork Media: The Forgotten Arm: David Raposa's review: "The resolution is a hard-fought one, with plenty of knocks collected along the way for both characters. Mann's despondent deadpan eloquence, as it's been for her entire career, is perfect for delineating each of these bumps and bruises in loving detail. " Rated 7.4 out of 10.
