I do enjoy her style of music, but it is a bit too quiet and the songs seem a bit too similar for my taste. I think "Sunrise" is her best song... and I also like that duet with Ray Charles.

I'm so sick of stereotypers such as yourself, Kyle S. I love rap, I love punk rock, and I love Norah Jones.
Heather M gave it a5:
Not bad but severely overrated. Safer than milk, i.e. TOO safe, no back-bone, no risks, virtually no excitement. She has a beautiful voice, but a fine instrument doesn't mean much when it's stuck playing Muzak. The first song is pleasant, but you may have trouble staying awake past the halfway point, unless you're the type who treats music like background noise, in which case this should do fine. There's nothing wrong with soft pop, but if this is supposed the 'best' that's out there, then the public's either too desperate or need to challenge themselves a wee bit more.

Amazing! Simply outstanding! I hope she stays around for years to come; I'm so sick of everyone being either a rapper or in a punk rock band. Long live Norah Jones!!!

Beautiful perfection, even better than her first!!!

Norah's inspirationally beautiful and eloquent voice slowly rock you away into another place, another land that lets you be carried away by anything she says. This smoky jazz singer truly shows that she has the talent enough to be chosen by a label, and as one might dare say, enough to make an album as sucessfull as hers is. And, that's only her voice. Her intricate and striking touch on the keys provides a definite change in the pop-infested world today. This drop of jazz in the hyperactive bubble-gum teenage girl music industry creates a welcome stir in society. Not only that, her classy and beautiful physical appearance make both of her videos pleasant on both the ears and the eyes. The only real reason anyone should have to give this album anything lower than an 8 would be the shallowness of the lyrics, as love songs are desperately overmade and overplayed. But, she still scores a ten, and those grammys were well-earned.

Her voice is great, the production is great too and the lyrics are good enough, but there something about this album that makes it kinda boring
