    She insteals the Tesla phrase " It's not what you have but it's what you give. It's not the life you choose but it's the life you live." She gives! You are in our hearts

    It is a light rock-pop album that inspires and suites every mood. If you wanna have some fun, "Soak up the sun", if you wanna shout and scream, "steve mqueen" and if your heart is broken too, "Over you." You can listen to it any time, good mood or bad, and there will be a song to cheer you up. Some of Sheryl's best work to date, this album features some heart rendering songs about It is a light rock-pop album that inspires and suites every mood.

Some of Sheryl's best work to date, this album features some heart rendering songs about broken hearts, but this, seemingly, is what Sheryl does best! 10/10. She's proved yet again that she definately has what it takes to be a rock legend! Expand

    Wow. It's amazing, coz first I loved all of the singles. Then I finally heard the whole disc and now I hate the singles and love everything else. "It's So Easy" is tragically beautiful, written through the eyes of a a woman in love with a married man, "It's Only Love" tells of her broken heart when the man dumps her. It's a story, really.

The story of a helpless romantic woman who's looking for love in all the wrong places. "Abilene", the best track on the album, is inspiring. Expand

    5 for the only 2 real Crow songs on this disc, "Soak" and "Original". The latter is the best song by a wide margin, a seemingly biting swipe at airheads like Spears and Aguilera and all their millions of analogues. I love Sheryl Crow's work but this disc is not even in the same league as her other three studio albums. Stevie Nicks may be a wonderful human being, but musically, 5 for the only 2 real Crow songs on this disc, "Soak" and "Original". The latter is the best song by a wide margin, a seemingly biting swipe at airheads like Spears and Aguilera and all their millions of analogues. I love Sheryl Crow's work but this disc is not even in the same league as her other three studio albums. Stevie Nicks may be a wonderful human being, but musically, she's the kiss of death lately. It was nice to hear Don Henley again. Fortunately, it won't take much time for Sheryl to try on a different persona and we can hope that one will make another good album. So far she's tried "groovy cool SoCal outsider" (10), "angry ballripper" (10), "devastated depressive" (10), and now "sunny well-heeled hippy chick with lots of famous friends who are no help" (5). I'm hoping for "country girl with a rocker's heart", which is what she really is, for the next persona. -danny Expand

    One great song (Steve McQueen). The rest is mediocre-to-wretched.

  1. It's frustrating to imagine how much more power Crow could amp up by tattering the edges of her best songs and avoiding the crowd-pleasing delicacy that makes her sound like a Sheryl Crow cover band. Led by Bob Seger.
  2. A masterfully crafted collection that warmly recalls the era of album-driven FM rock radio.

    Crow's subtle, stirring vocal style exhibits the same resilient innocence that makes Meg Ryan a sympathetic screen star. [Apr/May 2002, p.115]
