    Bad Day is the only half way decent song from it and he stole the piano from aimee mann's "wise up".

    Whiney, repetitive, predictable. Not a good buy.

    Is he this generation's Elton John? The answer is a resounding NO! He's just a product that provides adult contemporary to those who might find the genre lacking on radio right now. Try Gavin DeGraw instead.

    Sounding like regurgitated 'drops of jupiter' this Trainwreck of an album does little to rein in the banal quivering of Powter's overenthusiastic voice.

    Powter firmly establishes himself as a singer/songwriter who sits somewhere between James Blunt and early recordings by Elton John—albeit one who also knows the power of blue-eyed soul. [15 Apr 2006]

    As the album lurches along, you keep hoping for the real Daniel Powter to stand up, but he never quite does. [14 Apr 2006, p.83]

    As a writer, Powter aims at updating [Elton] John's piano-based format with hip-hop-derived beats, but he lacks the role model's emotional depth. [9 Apr 2006]
