==Critical reception==
Scott Fitzsimons from the The Music AU gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Storytelling is at the heart of any great country artist and Sara Storer is still a great storyteller. ''Lovegrass''...comes after marriage and family life – experiences that are on this album's sleeve. She openly admits the title track is written for her husband and other cuts – "Come On Rain", "Heart & Sold", "You're My Everything" – can be attributed to that same family muse. Even when it's not about them, a romanticised Australian country life underpins everything here" adding "Storer doesn't need to prove anything on ''Lovegrass'' after the career she's had, and the break has given her a chance to choose the time and manner of her return. This feels right, it feels natural and it feels comfortable." <ref>{{cite web|url=http://themusic.com.au/reviews/album/2013/08/19/sara-storer-lovegrass-scott-fitzsimons/|title=Sara Storer Lovegrass|publisher=The Music|date= 19 August 2013|accessdate=9 October 2016}}</ref>

Katie Davern from Alt Media said "The stories are intimate and unique." adding "''Lovegrass'' toes the line between folk and Storer’s distinctively Australian brand of country; the former finds a home nestled in the title track whose feel-good melodies intertwine to tell Storer’s own tale of a lover’s rejoice.

Critical reception

Scott Fitzsimons from the The Music AU gave the album 3.5 out of 5 saying; "Storytelling is at the heart of any great country artist and Sara Storer is still a great storyteller. Lovegrass...comes after marriage and family life – experiences that are on this album's sleeve. She openly admits the title track is written for her husband and other cuts – "Come On Rain", "Heart & Sold", "You're My Everything" – can be attributed to that same family muse. Even when it's not about them, a romanticised Australian country life underpins everything here" adding "Storer doesn't need to prove anything on Lovegrass after the career she's had, and the break has given her a chance to choose the time and manner of her return. This feels right, it feels natural and it feels comfortable." [5]

Katie Davern from Alt Media said "The stories are intimate and unique." adding "Lovegrass toes the line between folk and Storer’s distinctively Australian brand of country; the former finds a home nestled in the title track whose feel-good melodies intertwine to tell Storer’s own tale of a lover’s rejoice.
