    Enya keeps the comfort factor high with several compositions that are arguably descendants of her 1989 pop hit, "Orinoco Flow." She steps outside of that zone on the first single, "Only Time," an elegant effort that is wrapped in soothing harmonics fondly reminiscent of vintage Beach Boys tunes...

    This is music that works almost entirely as a surface pleasure; strip it of its pretensions, and it's just contemporary easy listening music.

    One of enya's better album. I'm not sure what the critics are smoking but it must be affecting their judgment skills. There is no good reason while this should be so poorly reviewed.… Expand

    A really drowsy album. Nothing really happening here but a few attempts at radio-friendliness.
