EdwardVSep 22, 2008A inspiring album from a true artist. From my best to the rising "Home" ballad, all tracks have their certain qualities that place Vanessa as an artist of the millennium.

PatricjHJun 8, 2008Her best album. Solid, well written, and catchy!!! Her instrumentation is less boring than "Harmonium" (which personally I found half good, half baddd). This album shows consistency. "Home" is by far my favorite!

AaronB.Jan 16, 2008After the "supposed" failure of Harmonium, I think this is the perfect follow up. I do feel that Harmonium suffered because it was not promoted properly, and I do feel this album is lacking a certain amount of promotion. Lets hope her upcoming tour will send her right back to the top. This is a beautiful album, and she is a wonderful musician.

BobV.Dec 29, 2007I love this album. The songs are so meaning full and the lyrics really hit home.

KimDec 20, 2007There is not one song on the entire album that poses as mediocre. Carlton again crafts a superb album that's just as delightful in it's panic escapades as it is in her story telling.

NicholasSNov 7, 2007All these reviews are horrible... you cant give the cd a 0 because you preferred the others, and you can give it a 10 just because it was good, unless it was really really good. but whatever. That being said... this album is not bad. It has some really great songs. Just not as many great songs as Harmonium, though some of the great songs on "Heroes" are some of the best songs of her career.

MattD.Oct 26, 2007This is Vanessa's best. Her singing is better than it was before, with less over-emoting. The classic pop arrangements here are also gripping; they suit her more perfectly than darker, more alternative material. One of the best of the year; don't know where these zero ratings are coming from!!

SophiaOct 22, 2007This album is definitely the best coming out of VC's efforts, way better than her 2nd album. I strongly recommend for VC fans.

JoseG.Oct 17, 2007Nothing here stacks up with "A Thousand Miles". I easily preferred her other albums to this.

JoshuaS.Oct 16, 2007Vanessa is so amazing. Not only smart, beautiful & talented... but continues to GROW from album to album. Heroes & Thieves showcases her unique vocal stylings and shows that she is an artist with a true vison and voice. Vanessa wrote a timeless album that is a magic listen. SO many amazing songs... thanks for the new memories!

Awards & Rankings
-
Her voice is too sweet and girlish to command, her melodies mellifluous but not grabbing--but Heroes & Thieves flows easily, and it's a nice return to the strengths of her debut.
-
Fans of Carlton's indelible white-chick anthem "A Thousand Miles," on the other hand, have plenty to be excited about, since Heroes presents another batch of appealingly wistful reflections on life and love.
-
However precious her poetry can be, Carlton always pins it to melodies that morph and expand evocatively.
