...maybe surprisingly, the Pray section turns out to be the most interesting part. Gilbert can overcharm at times--she suffers from an addiction to cleverness--but her account of her time in India is beautiful and honest and free of patchouli-scented obscurities. To read about her struggles with a 182-verse Sanskrit chant, or her (successful) attempt to meditate while being feasted on by mosquitoes, is to come about as close as you can to enlightenment-by-proxy.

The instrumentation gives the album a full sound, but not one that's over the top. And, perhaps most important of all, Young and Sexy don't drag out a song longer than two minutes if it's not necessary.
