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