Critical reception
Catching a Tiger received generally favorable reviews. Paul Cole of the Sunday Mercury writes, "Lissie’s bluesy vocal prowls around a self-penned setlist like a caged tigress waiting to pounce on its keeper. Nothing prepares you for unashamed rock-out In Sleep, then Lissie abruptly changes direction for the ethereal Bully and Americana of Martha Wainwright-like Little Lovin’. Yet Stranger is 60s pop incarnate. A stunning debut album." In a very positive review, BBC writer Mike Diver writes "Lissie Maurus makes a man sick to his stomach. Not because she’s no good – rather the exact opposite. Catching a Tiger is a debut that dreams beyond typical new artist parameters. It is the work of a girl who looks, even with a fag hanging from her pale lips, like an alt-fashion model. But she sounds like one of the greatest female vocalists of a generation, arguably without even really trying." News of the World gave Catching a Tiger 4 out of 5 stars, writing: "WHATEVER she tries, Illinois girl Lissie sings sexily, and a corking tune is never far away in this debut album.... All 12 songs could be singles. Catching A Tiger? She's already a roaring lioness." Evening Standard writer Rick Pearson also gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and listed it as one of the albums of the week. In his review, Pearson raves that "Lissie's smoky tones Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks," describing the album as "brilliant." Sammy Richman of The Independent writes in a positive review that " debut album is as refreshing a slice of pop as these jaded ears have heard in years, channeling Edie Brickell one moment, Stevie Nicks the next, and Bobbie Gentry at will." In a very positive review, Sophie Stratford of The Northern Echo praises Lissie for having "a voice which crackles with the influence of blues as much as it does with folk and a range and delivery that could put most rock singers to shame" before describing the album as "the perfect record for sunny days and driving on the highway with the wind in your hair."
