Not her best work, very contemporary (read boring).
O. Gawd gave it a1:
I've never quite understood the allure of Sheryl Crow. Her first album had one good song on it. Her other offerings seemed to try to ape Madonna, but unlike Mrs. Ritchie, Crow can't sing. And she's no looker, either. So she returns to her first producer in a desperate attempt to remine gold. Not surprising. Sounds like it's time to detour back to your music class, Sheryl.

While I am not a huge S. Crow fan, I must admit that this is an impressive album. She mixes personal/political lyrics that do not sound preachy with catchy pop hooks to create a solid album.
Antonis P. gave it a10:
I own all Sheryl's studio albums amd believe me this is her best followed by her second (Sheryl Crow) . the lyrics show a more mature Sheryl amd the sound is so extraordinarily beautiful as a result of Bill´s excellent production and Sheryl´s vocals sound flawless. I consider this to be the best album release so far of the year!!! And I expect many awards too!
Robbie C. gave it a6:
It's actually all right! The songs "Love is Free" and "Shine Over Babylon" are great pop songs, and the latter half of the record has some interesting tunes too. The best she's done in probably 10 years... but still not as great.
Abi B. gave it an8:
I have a general bias against female artists, but from a true skeptic... this is a great record. Great messages put to great melodies. the track 'peace be upon us' brought tears to my eyes on first listen, and i tend towards the likes of foo fighters, zeppelin, oasis, pearl jam.. its like listening to a great debut record just cuz sheryl has been absent for so long.
Laura F. gave it a10:
Honest record from the heart with a lot of variety. There are some very catchy tunes on this CD and there is depth here as well. I feel it's important for an artist to sing about things that are pertinent and real in the world today and that is just what Crow has done with her latest CD, Detours. For all that she's been through, she ends up shining with this one!
