坊間對 Jolie Holland 最苛刻的批評，不外是說她有些造作，但她年輕漂亮又有才華，有些形露於外的自矜又有什麼出奇？
新專輯《Springtime Can Kill You》展現了更多才女本色。「這是 Ghetto 的美麗早晨，今天比昨天更美好，有螞蟻爬在我的褲管，他們知道那裡可以找到花蜜」，這首《Crush In The Ghetto》應該是今年最天真又最褻暱的情歌了，不要跟我說聽了後，沒有螞蟻也在你的心裡或大腿爬著。
I’m floating with the birds
I’m talking to the weeds
Look what you’ve done to me
I’m still dressed up from the night before
Silken hose and an old Parisian coat
And I feel like a queen at the bus stop on the street
Look what you’ve done to me
It’s a beautiful morning in the ghetto
Finer than the day before
The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say
They know where the honey is
There’s really old roses blooming in the ghetto
Birds of paradise are taller than me
The weeds grow high, the birds flicker by
Children are walking to school
In the midst of all of this profusion
The bus pulls up to take me back home
The bus driver looks like an African prince
The babies have tears in their eyes
And I feel like a queen
On this sunny city bus
Look what you’ve done to me
