    this is such a masterpiece but the only fail was putting Well Well Well as a lead single, but such a good album delivered by Duffy, can wait to listen to new music from her

    The tricky second album. Rockferry had vocal power and depth. Endlessly doesn't. I enjoy Duffy's voice, but on several tracks she never quite hits the mark. The first few spins do leave you feeling a little lost, craving a little more, however, it's a grower. Give it time and it's actually quite the pleasant and satisfying pop album - Price's production in particular is worth the repeated listens.

    If "Rockferry" was a interesting and good album, "Endlessly" is repetitive and it's not good. With all the respect but for me Duffy is the classical artist that has a big success with the first album and then disappears. I hope that now she'll takes a break form music, for return with a good album like her first. ( sorry for my English )

    Ah, the tricky second album, for some it remains, for some it destroys, for some it improoves and for Duffy it didn't really do anything. It's a good album, it has a lot of likability, you cannot help but find her music interesting. It might not be the most groundbreaking music of all time, but it's retro at it's sweetest.

I hate to compare artists albums, i like to take them for the individual record that they are, but at times you want Duffy to belt out a note or two like she did on previously, i mean, she won a Grammy for 'Best Pop Vocal Album' and sold 6.5 Million copies of Rockferry, her voice made her the star she is..why didn't she use it on this album ? Comparisons aside, this album might not be able to hold it's own against the likes of Adele's 21 or Imelda May's Mayhem but it quite frankly **** all over Jessie J's Who You Are. Collapse

    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.

    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.

    Nothing new, same style as the first album. Not bad, but I know Duffy can do much better. Maybe she could try with "Rain On Your Parade" style. I loved that song and how it suited on her.
    Come on Duffy!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't get the rhythm of this album . Her voice is not as expressive as her first album. You can forget the melodies very quickly. For sure... Rockferry is better than Endlessy. Expand

    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]

    The rest is a lacklustre recast of her debut that displays about as much personality as Duffy's sweetly banal interviews, all of which suggests her production team are a weakened bunch. Like we said, a remarkable return.
