JJAug 2, 200710This album has sleeper hit written all over it. One of the best new albums of the year so far and without a doubt her most solidly written and accessible works yet.

ChrisCOct 4, 20079This album is a big example of why the critical community needs to stop ignoring genres that aren't rock, electronic, 'indie', or rap. There's some damn good folk and country out there too.

WillVAug 2, 20079I was not expecting much, but having been a fan for awhile I took a chance and am glad I did. The songs are tight, compact and deliver. This maybe Ms. Vega's finest moment as an overall album, even if the highlights don't match the best songs on the other albums.

Beauty & Crime is, without reservation, the defining creative moment of Suzanne Vega's career thus far.
-
80It's trim rather than hurried, does not waste a note and, because of that, may be the best of Vega's seven studio albums.

80While the lovely melodies and Vega's hushed vocals make it perfectly good background music, to achieve the full effect you have to listen to those lyrics--she's one of the finest lyricists of recent times.
