Solace é o segundo album de Sarah McLachlan, e é consideravelmente mais maduro e musicalmente sofisticado do que a sua estreia de 1988, com o promissor mas algo limitado Touch. Este disco é imprescindível para os fãs que se familiarizaram com o trabalho dos seus discos dos anos 90, os extremamente populares Fumbling Towards Ecstasy e Surfacing.

1991's Solace is the singer's second album following her 1988 debut Touch. Serving as her commercial breakthrough in her home country, the promising and profound 10-song set spawned the hit singles "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "Into the Fire" and marked the beginning of her fruitful relationship with producer Pierre Marchand.

"Marchand's influence was immediately apparent; McLachlan moved on from her rather immature gothic first album Touch and evolved a more modern, technology-influenced folk-rock style which began to find form on her second album Solace. According to Marchand, they found common ground in their mutual admiration of Peter Gabriel, but their collaboration went much further than that." - Sound on Sound

"The opening track, 'Drawn to the Rhythm,' is a habit-forming gem of a song that soars on her smooth and heady soprano and Ronald Jones's addictive drums (though the drone of the billatron in the chorus seems incongruous). The rumbling, electric 'Into the Fire' grooves with a funky bass line; the lovelorn 'Path of Thorns' and 'I Will Not Forget You' are straight-ahead and bluesy. Always wise beyond her years, McLachlan displays a new awakening with introspective songs such as the Sinead O'Connor-esque 'Lost" and "Shelter.' The hymnlike 'Mercy' is the least interesting song — spare in comparison to the others — but it is a wondrous showcase of her multifaceted voice. Without a doubt, Solace is a testament to McLachlan's ever-swelling talent."

"Solace is at once comforting, mysterious, expansive, timeless, and familiar. The sophomore jinx was certainly eluded here, as McLachlan sets forth a superior collection of songs and performances with the help of longtime producer Pierre Marchand. The opening track, "Drawn to the Rhythm," serves its title well and does the job of luring you in. Intelligent, intriguing lyrics and lilting melodies abound, whether amidst the pulsing rhythms of "Into the Fire" and "Back Door Man" or the quietly profound stories of "Home" and "Shelter." Although pretty much all of the tunes will grab you at one point or another, "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "I Will Not Forget You" are especially memorable, the latter not to be confused with McLachlan's "I Will Remember You," which appears on the 1995 soundtrack for The Brothers McMullen. Solace is a wonderful record that offers a glimpse of the astounding talent of a young Sarah McLachlan." - Kelly McCartney, All Music
