The Proglodytes published a very profound and sympathetic X-ray of Ana’s album, noting on its honesty and authenticity, its genre-defying content and varied emotional foundation.

“Spice, Gold, and Tales Untold is an eclectic exploration of life and love, abounding with witty insights and philosophical musings. […] Her vocals are emotive and pure, and her guitar playing is both direct and full of flourishes and clever melodic lines. […] Though there is definitely a jazzy streak throughout, Ana shows that she can’t be pigeonholed by one label or genre, and manages to be diverse while still maintaining authenticity throughout each song and soundscape.”
