Karla Bonoff is the RIAA Gold-certified first album by singer/songwriter Karla Bonoff. It includes several of Bonoff's compositions which had previously been prominently recorded: three by Linda Ronstadt ("Lose Again", "If He's Ever Near", "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me") and one by Bonnie Raitt ("Home").
Reception
Rolling Stone's Stephen Holden called the album an impressive debut marred only by comparisons to Linda Ronstadt, writing that "Bonoff's approach is softer, plainer and more tentative." He concluded that the "consistency of the material confirms a major writing talent; the performances show a promising singer."
AllMusic's William Ruhlmann noted retrospectively that, "despite Bonoff's competent singing, which actually better accentuated the lyrics of her songs than Ronstadt's, it was hard for her to get out from under the shadow of the members of her peer group who had preceded her."
