Critical reception[edit]
Thom Owens of AllMusic gives Sand and Water 4 out of a possible 5 stars and writes, "Although the arrangements on Sand and Water are slicker than anything on Beth Nielsen Chapman's previous albums, boasting everything from country to pop influences, her songwriting remains incisive, melodic and altogether striking, resulting in another stunningly accomplished record."[1]
