Nick Ward praises All Grown Up:
· Nelson Mail: "90s Westie Queen Jan Hellriegel made the comeback of the year with All Grown Up."
24 December
Russell Baillie places All Grown Up as number 8 of the Top 30 albums of the year.
· New Zealand Herald (TimeOut supplement): "Auckland singer-songwriter Jan Hellriegel returned 14 years after her second album with a third which was anything but a one-more-for-old-times'-sake afterthought. With a sizeable slab of anguish running through much of its songs, All Grown Up swung neatly from sweetness to scorch taking in poignant balladry, symphonic pop and guitar-fired rock."
