DR.Feb 10, 200810Back when Ms Winehouse wasn't crazy she was still just as capable of making a colossal (debut) record. Tracks like F Me Pumps, In My Bed and Stronger Than Me are sharp, chirpy and satirical which make for a very warm and fuzzy feeling at the end of it!

SamiPFeb 1, 20089An astounding entrance to the music industry, Amy's "Frank" demonstrates that vocal prowess and meaningful lyrics still have radio credibility, or at least commercial viability. While not as jazzy and nostalgic as her successor, there is no denying that Winehouse can make the ordinary extraordinary and with candor and tongue-in-cheek magnificence. Bravo Amy!

CKFeb 18, 20083Amy has a nice voice, but her songs don't do anything for me. I can't recommend this album to anyone.

KenH.Dec 12, 20077Several really great tracks but there's also too many filler tracks with lazy studio production. The reggae tunes are especially poor and her great voice doesn't really work with that type of song at all.

ChadKDec 24, 20073Why does the media love her so much? This album doesn't even reach the mediocracy of Back to Black, yet it still receives rave reviews. Puzzeling, huh?

TessaJan 21, 200810Maybe some of you don't recall that ms winehouse has just had problem(that are probablly still present)with drink and drugs.to release an album this good while being under the influence,most of the time anyway,is pretty damn good.

JohnFeb 16, 20081She really has an awful voice. The only reason to listen to this kind of crap is when you want to be a whiny poseur who "thinks drugs are the worst thing in the world". Sorry to say, but the only reason to listen to this is because she is a really sad person.

ChrisHDec 23, 20071Horrendous, souless, cynically produced, public school brat, neo-pop-jazz, trendwhore dross. I'm sure you love it. Don't you?

Sep 30, 20109In "Frank," we see a full album of the year not seen in albums that inusse r&b, jazz and soul, there is evidence of great classic, but there are songs of truth, wrapped by the voice of Winehouse, implanting in our minds a interpretation of velvet, a very nice night scene, no errors, except that its size to reduce the serene charm of the album, yet brilliant.

Nov 14, 20119the pitchfork review of frank is probably the biggest piece of **** i've ever seen in my life. how the hell can you compare her "frank" to "back to black" seeing as there is a **** 4 year difference?? obviously kinks are worked out of b2b that weren't available for frank, but to me, frank is a lot smoother and possess a pleasing lighter sound than b2b.

Winehouse's record has the feeling of being allowed to grow on its own--without being meddled with and fussed over.
-
Frank is an honest, refreshingly personal record which, though very occasionally strays into easy jazz, has Gucci bags of personality.
-
Her first album--a UK smash in '03, now being issued here-- bristles with fiercer intelligence, though it lacks the classic soul-warmth of the Mark Ronson-produced Black. [16 Nov 2007, p.79]
