Editorial Review:
Though Tails was her debut album, Loeb had already hit the stratosphere of the pop charts a year earlier with "Stay," a monster hit from the soundtrack of the film Reality Bites. "Stay" is also included on Tails, but the other 12 tracks demonstrate Loeb had more than one good song in her, even if none of them found similar success on the singles chart. Loeb's knack for infectious, buoyant pop shines through on such instantly catchy tunes as "Snow Day," "Rose-Colored Time" and "Waiting for Wednesday"; quieter, darker numbers such as "Hurricane," "Alone" and "Lisa Listen" reveal a more reflective side; and "Taffy" shows she's occasionally willing to let loose and rock as well. --Peter Blackstock
Tails Reviews:
Classic 
2009-12-16 - I bought this for the song "stay". I love the whole album. It is really good calm CD.
Love Lisa!
2009-02-16 - This is my favorite CD of all time, and I'd only ever owned burned copies. I am very happy to own a real copy! I love Lisa's voice, the lyrics are fun and quirky, and the music is amazing. Best CD ever!
Stay etc. in the eye of the beholder 
2007-06-05 - With music in general, & esp. with certain artists, it's value is far more in the beholder than in the item. Some are acquired tastes, perhaps, but IMHO most either produce a strong response in the listener -- or not. I think (esp. if one reads the personal reviews) this is certainly true of Lisa Loeb & this album. She reminds me a bit of Jewel & Amy Grant in tone. To Lisa's credit, she writes her own material. I'm not that big on her presentation (though I do like "Stay"). I seem to like her lyrics better than most reviewers do. Indeed, it seems to me she could have published these "songs" as poems. There's certainly enough angst in them! But, the music sometimes doesn't seem to quite fit the words. Further, most of the tunes seem somewhat similar to each other IMHO. But, if you are a REAL FAN, this is wonderful. If you're not, it's not so wonderful. That's why there's chocolate, vanilla, & ...
Lilith Fair fare
2006-05-16 - Tails encapsulated the promise of Lisa Loeb, who made the big time with a hit single "Stay" off of the Reality Bites movie soundtrack. The other hit off of the CD was "Do You Sleep?", but the other tracks off of the disc are well-written and executed, speaking of relationship perils of successes, sometimes with a sense of humour. Lisa's star hasn't stayed as high since the release of this disc, but in part that's attributable to the change in the music landscape that occurred at the turn of the millennium, as MTV turned the pop culture sheep away from alternative rock and Lilith Fair music towards hip-hop, and (sadly) themselves away from playing videos and towards Punk'd. Tails is definitely worth a listen, if you were a fan of music of that time.
Lisa Loeb-Tails
2006-02-24 - I remember being the only third grader to have her casset Tails, and perhaps relized around that time that i was a lesbian her Lisa Loeb is sooo freaking hot!
This is besides the point. This CD has all the qualities of just puting it into your player and listening to it for weeks. Her songs are rich in texture and style, easy to belt out while your waiting at a stop light or shopping with your I-pod. I highly recommend this CD to every one. Its the perfect "I'm in a bad mood CD" because its so cheerful.
