  1. Billboard
    80
    Thomas returns with a soaring collection of infectious pop songs that are destined for heavy rotation in 2009 and beyond.
  2. Rolling Stone
    80
    There is plenty of unexpected texture to keep your ears engaged.
  3. Los Angeles Times
    75
    Thomas presides over a sleekly produced, constantly undulating mixture of sounds that seems designed to appeal to all of the people all of the time.
  4. The New York Times
    60
    Cradlesong, his second persistently polite, numbingly polished solo album.

    I am really loving this album. Many songs have a strong 80's vibe. The songs are diverse and interesting with great melodies and meaningful lyrics. Love Wonderful, Still Ain't Over You, Give Me The Meltdown, Getting Late. Almost every song. Not feeling Real World 09, but the rest are "wonderful" songs.… Expand

    Strong throughout. Great lyrics and melodies. A major improvement from Something To Be.

    I will admit, I have never been a fan of Rob Thomas; I'm not even quite sure as to why I downloaded this album, but I sure am glad that I did. His songwriting his beautiful, and I absolutely adore his voice. My favorites include "her diamonds," "give me the meltdown," "someday," "fire on the mountain," and "snowblind."… Expand
