  Flak Magazine: Review of Louise Goffin's Sometimes A Circle, 04-09-02   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
As the daughter of Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Louise Goffin must have some measure of help based on her bloodline in reaching the release of Sometimes A Circle, her de facto debut record after a couple of long-forgotten efforts in the early '80s.
Still, Goffin has a lot to live up to: Her parents stand without hyperbole among the greatest popular songwriting teams of the past 50 years, alongside Bacharach-David, Lennon-McCartney and Holland-Dozier-Holland.
In fact, just as Goffin hits her stride, vamping it up in a style familiar to fans of the semi-obscure Shivaree, Circle shifts gears, just like when albums used to have sides.

 Louise Goffin: Sometimes a Circle - PopMatters Music Review
The daughter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Louise Goffin's new release, her first in nearly 14 years, is the latest in an increasingly lengthening line of albums by children of famous musicians, and it had to be a daunting task to step out of the shadow of her illustrious parents.
Goffin describes her album as "a humorous look at the absurdity of modern life," which perfectly encapsulates the theme of the record.
Lyrically, though, Goffin is nonetheless terrific, especially on "Clicking to the Next Slide", where she scores some points singing about a found View-Master (one of the coolest toys, ever), but lyrics are only half of the song (some might argue even less), and without a melody that grabs you, you're not left with much.

 Womenfolk
Surrounded by music her entire life, Louise Goffin started learning piano very early in her childhood and eventually began to write her own songs.
And Goffin's usage of muffled sound effects and filtered noise add enough quirk to lift these tracks to a higher level and cause immediate appeal.
And while it is perhaps unfortunate that Goffin will never be able to fully separate herself from her famous parents in the eyes of the public, it's nice to know she's got a talent that is completely her own.

After numerous bands in which going nowhere was part of the object, in 1979 she set off solo with albums Kid Blue and Louise Goffin in 1981 (both on Asylum).
While artists with famous parents often seem to have a leg up in the music business, an icon is hard to overcome, and as sad as it is, Louise Goffin will have to cover a lot more distance before she's able to step out of the shadow of her mother.

 In Music We Trust - Louise Goffin: Sometimes A Circle
Piano-centric pop songs that glow with beauty, singer-songwriter Louise Goffin's Sometimes A Circle is a nearly flawless album of soft, delicate pop bliss and spacey melodies wrapped around teary vocals that make you want to break down and cry.
Starting off with the hook-laden single of choice and title track, a pop song raved up as a dance number when the chorus hits, Goffin takes you on a journey of lush, sparse, and soothing pop.
Whether it's the old-time feel of "Sleep With Me Instead" or the soulful pop of "Just Bone and Breath," Goffin proves herself to be one of the most promising songwriters in 2002.

 MusicDish Industry e-Journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Despite her noble lineage, the daughter of super songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin offers little evidence of her parentage aside from a vague liner note appreciation.
Referencing The Coasters' calypso style and name checking The Chairman himself, Goffin's voice emerges as the album progresses, but never really has much to say (especially when compared to the succinct brilliance that is her parents' trademark).
When the rhythm track clicks back in for "What a Waste of a Perfectly Good Hotel Room," however, Goffin's drowsy poetry is reduced to soft pop.

Borders® Review: As the daughter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, there was probably no way Louise could turn out to be anything but a great singer-songwriter.
Review: Entertainment Weekly (3/15/02, p.77) - "...While Goffin's CD proves that she's inherited her mother's [Carole King] knack for clever storytelling and singsongy melodies, well-placed trip-hoppy beats keep her basic chick-rock from sounding old-fashioned..." - Rating: B
Description: "When you set out trying to capture people with your songs, you never affect them as much as you would if you're just being honest and writing for yourself," says Louise Goffin of the music captured on her DreamWorks Records debut, Sometimes a Circle.
