hot press stated that she had "mesmerising stage presence and eccentric pop genius".the huffington post in a live review in 2012 described feeney as, "a weird and wonderful irish import". the huffington post commented, "feeney presents an entrancing and startling evening of poetic imagery, well crafted stories, delicate emotions, unexpected cadences, sudden silences, coy humor and tightly-wound tunes with hit-caliber hooks, sometimes delivered with cool detachment, at other times with a riveting directness...it's high-wire performance art in a well-crafted show–blocked, lighted and rehearsed like a theater piece–that flows and eddies on shifts in tempo, mood, dynamics and instrumentation". in relation to other performers it continued, "vocally, she's been compared to sinead o'connor and björk (a fellow traveler in extreme fashion) and to musicians ranging from laurie anderson to elvis costello, from david bowie to tori amos. other iconic musical performers came to mind–leonard cohen, paolo conte, tom waits—singers and songwriters with their own original hard-to-categorize, highly original styles. i also heard echoes of french film soundtracks, pachelbel's canon, nino rota (known for his fellini and the godfather scores) philip glass and a long forgotten carousel ride." in relation to feeney's microphone technique the huffington post commented, "and her technique in using the microphone almost as a musical instrument reminded me of jazz legend betty carter".
