    While not explicitly a concept or homage album, Endlessly captures a retro American sound reminiscent of sock hops and drive-ins so subtly, that the album could have been called Effortlessly.

    Artistically, it struggles to cross the velvet rope and push on into greatness. [Jan 2011, p.134]

    Duffy's pinched voice warbles into Lulu land pretty frequently, and that squeakiness isn't helped much by the music: five ballads swathed in strings and heartache, five uptempo tracks with a bit more bounce but not much attitude.

  1. This album is good; the song writing is solid and the vocals is outstanding . Duffy is an amazing singer and this album proves how talented she is. Her last album was really good and people expected more, i think she gave us more with this album. Expand

  2. This album was - for the most a low grade release. I try not to focus on comparing artist albums with there previous releases - but i can't help it. Rockferry sold 6.5 Million across the globe and was met with outstanding reviews, it won a Grammy award and won the prestigious 'MasterCard British Album Award' at the Brit awards, and for the right reasons. This album however is lacking, not lyrically, but i feel vocally is where is album fails. Duffy has an incredable voice, her vocal range is outstanding (Warick Avenue at the Brit Awards for example) - but for the most she does nothing catching on this album, just when you think she's about to belt out a note or two she just doesn't. I'm a huge fan of Duffy, but i am very disappointed with this album. Although saying that - 'Well, Well, Well', 'My Boy, 'Don't Forsake Me', 'To Hurt to Dance' and 'Love Struck' are by far the outstanding tracks on the album, and i know 5/10 isn't bad - but when i say outstanding, i mean better than the rest, but by no means do i mean as good as Rockferry.

  3. Obviously, the album was rushed-up. In three weeks of recording, the album was definitely nothing good to offer. Duffy's voice is one of her assets but she did not delivered it well in her second album. Most of the tracks are lame, bland, and boring. Rockferry is actually better than Endlessly. Expand
