Tears, Lies, And Alibis is Lynne's first record on her own newly founded label, EVERSO RECORDS, which is distributed through Fontana, the award-winning independent distribution division of Universal Music Group. Newsday hailed it as "her strongest album in a decade," a sentiment echoed by critics across the country. USA Today praised its "lean, rootsy originals that showcase her easy wit and emotional intelligence" while People Magazine gave the record 3 ½ stars, observing: "Keeping it raw, the heartache goes down deep on songs like the soulful standout 'Alibi.'"
