Track listing
Reception Critic Jon Pareles writing in The New York Times praised the growth demonstrated by Jarosz, saying "with Build Me Up From Bones (Sugar Hill) her third album, she moves past precocity toward the full bloom of artistry: the singing is more deeply self-assured, and the songs are grounded in truer emotional terrain."
Writing in The Boston Globe, music critic James Reed was similarly impressed with the increased complexity of Jarosz's work: "Her latest is more organic, a trio setting that emphasizes the value of space. The songs breathe. From the perspective of composition and structure, the music is more complex and nuanced, too. Jarosz's voice, warm and elastic, rings out strong and clear."
