Billboard
A splendid set.

All Music Guide
A resounding success... She won't get the same press that Loretta Lynn got for her "comeback", but this may even be more impressive an accomplishment because it come out of nowhere.

Blender
She's a poised pop queen, ready to be worshiped once again. [Nov 2004, p.141]
80
The Guardian
There's more wit, atmosphere and incontestable (if elegantly understated) star power in this sleek, chic, foxy record than in the rest of the month's albums combined.

Spin
[Sinatra's] is a light, ductile weirdness, and nearly all the contributing acolytes here play to it well. [Jan 2005, p.96]
75
Entertainment Weekly
Enjoyable, if not quite spectacular, results. [1 Oct 2004, p.74]
70
New Musical Express
Reasserts what's great about her. [2 Oct 2004, p.64]
70
Mojo
As for her voice, that's still a remarkably sassy tool. [Nov 2004, p.108]
70
Rolling Stone
It's a grand meeting between a star and her fans.

Splendid
You might expect the resulting album to be disjointed and schizo, but it's actually a cohesive collection of potential hit singles held together by an incomparable performer.

Uncut
Much of the album lacks cohesion, and even seems lazy. [Nov 2004, p.109]
60
Under The Radar
Though only a couple of tracks could hang with the Hazelwood days, it doesn't mean the rest of the songs aren't a pleasure. [#8, p.112]

Junkmedia
A puzzling release.

Village Voice
Jack White took Loretta Lynn indie-rock Nashville with an unquenchable musical hunger and attainment that never had to feel sheepish about following the work of a music maestro as juicy and august as the late Owen Bradley. AJ Azzarto, Matt Azzarto, and Don Fleming, Sinatra's producers, do something else. They craft an indie-rock Nancy Sinatra, way too much of which is way too 1994.

Paste Magazine
She's still got class and sass to spare, but among so many collaborators, Sinatra sounds too malleable and impersonal. [#13, p.111]

Q Magazine
The feel is of youngish bucks cruelly taunting their 64-year-old granny. [Nov 2004, p.127]

J.T. Knight gave it a 10:
This album rocks! I particularly like track 4.

Shabar O gave it a 9:
This album should have been called "NEVER MIND THE BOTOX". Indeed, so refreshed, so chic, so glamour, so great, so much a must and this is really unbiased. Easily a nine and a great xmas gift.
