It Looks Like Snow

It Looks Like Snow is the third album by singer–songwriter Phoebe Snow, released in 1976.

Reception
In a retrospective review for Allmusic, critic Joe Viglione called the album "an overpowering collection of pop-jazz-funk-folk that puts this amazing vocalist's talents in a beautiful light... It Looks Like Snow is a major work from a fabulous performer traversing styles and genres with ease and elegance." Robert Christgau wrote of the album; "Snow's gifts as a singer and lyricist are finally channeled. The silly mystical ideas are way down below her overriding good sense; up above we find a fairly strong, direct, and happy woman who is by no means vegetating in her contentment..."
