A coming-out party for one of the most important artists of our time.
-
91Who is Jill Scott? This is--in all her eloquent, inspirational, beautiful and melodic glory.
-
90Her sharpest offering yet, and one of the better live albums in recent memory.
-
80In places, though, the live show is a little too freeform and rambling. The 11 new studio tracks on CD2 are much more focused.... [Dec 2001, p.131]
-
80Remedies some problems and amplifies others.
-
Look beyond the spasm-inducing bass solos to Scott herself: a frequently magnetic performer, with a certain brave, defiant spirit that her peers lack.
-
70The warmth of her debut is still there but now overlaid with something fearsome, forceful and almost overbearing at times.
-
60A curious and confusing follow-up.
-
60With a couple more new songs, this could have been a great second album rather than a stop-gap release. [Jan 2002, p.90]
-
60If the studio stuff lacks punch, her live material pulls fresh meaning from her music's subtlety. [Feb 2002, p.110]
-
40This merely draws attention to the fact that the old songs are better than the new ones. [Jan 2002, p.146]

mllikd10This album makes you feel like you where there. The vibes are all that and some. I can't wait for a dvd to come and get the total experience.
