Nolita is Keren Ann's fourth album. It is also her second English album. Nolita has tracks both in English and in French.
In a positive review, Allmusic's Thom Jurek said that both the lyrics and instrumentation have substance and called Nolita "utterly beguiling ... assured, statuesque, and fully realized." In a negative review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau panned Ann for celebrating melancholy and for lacking rhythm: "[T]he languor she encourages in her quiet cult is the kind of privilege that feels like an accomplishment to Nick Drake and Sylvia Plath fans."
