    In Detours' subdued second half, though, Crow lays off the social commentary to address her own recent rough patches, with lyrics that grow more absorbing and intimate as Bottrell's eclecticism simmers down.

    Crow hasn't been this free or fine since "Sheryl Crow," but there is an emotional directness on Detours that makes this a progression, not a retreat.

    'Love Is Free' ambles pleasantly, 'Gasoline' is 'All I Wanna Do' revisted and 'Detours' itself would grace any Best of. [Mar 2008, p.100]

    While I am not a huge S. Crow fan, I must admit that this is an impressive album. She mixes personal/political lyrics that do not sound preachy with catchy pop hooks to create a solid album.… Expand

    I like Sheryl Crow, but it sounds like her personal troubles have crippled her creativity. Most of the songs here latch on to one simple lyrical phrase and then just keep beating it to death. These songs are SO repetitive and simplistic! Peace Be Upon Us, Peace Be Upon Us, Peace Be Upon Us... ad infinitum. OK, OK, Sheryl, we get it! Move on!… Expand

    Not her best work, very contemporary (read boring).
