AllMusic[3]

Two Kinds of Laughter is an album by the American singer-songwriter Sara Hickman, released in 1998.[4][5]

Critical reception[edit]

The Chicago Tribune thought that "Belew generally stays out of the way of Hickman's breezy, congenial folk-pop, keeping the focus on her achingly earnest lyrics and lithe, undemanding melodies."[6]

AllMusic wrote that "Hickman creates an inviting tension in her songs, pitting unusual lyric lines against catchy melodies."[3]
