Fortunately, with Slumber, Miss McCall has succeeded in crafting an album of remarkable strength, sorrow, and diversity, all while maintaining her peculiar brand of eerily melodic atmospherics.
  6. ^ Jason Thompson (26 February 2003). "Jana McCall: Slumber". popmatters.com. PopMatters Media, Inc. let's not peg McCall as a depressing down and out. Slumber is not ultimately one of those albums you put on to wallow about in. Instead, there are very powerful moments that transcend the gloom, taking the album away from the clutches of goth drudgery. It is, in effect, a capsulated collection of stark moments with a definite light at the end of the tunnel.
