Apr 4, 2012Jagged Litte Pill was a fantastic album and this stripped down acoustic version just shows how excellent the songs on the original are, a great take on a classic album

LSAug 3, 2005This is a great acoustic version of one of the best albums of the 1990's.

AAJul 26, 2005Alanis has a great voice and this album showcases it. F_ck all that "we miss the rage" stuff - she has mellowed out. Deal.

PatrickKJul 28, 2005Everyone is on here saying "oh, Alanis lost her edge", but that isn't the point, it is acoustic, it is calm, and it is showcasing the music and the past.

JuanPabloCebollònHApr 17, 2006I think that the record is not the best but it shows the other side of alanis's vocal evolution and her voice is wonderful and amazing but some tracks from jagged little pill acoustic are a little boring.

KatiePJul 26, 2005I love this CD. Unlike everyone else, Jagged Little Pill isn't my favourite CD. However, I found myself LOVING the acoustic versions. Some are bad (Right Through You where she sounds like she's yodelling), but others are utterly brilliant (such as the new version of Your House with music added). She sounds great, definitely worth the $20.

DJul 27, 2005Not as fresh or inventive as it could have been, but great nonetheless. The songs were great to begin with.

ChrisJAug 17, 2005Alanis has gone on to accept and beautifully transcend the words and themes from her original recording. Not only have her vocals matured in a most respectable manner, so has she.

Aug 15, 2020Whilst this album does not contain anything groundbreaking, there are a few standouts:
There's the "Ironic" acoustic rendition with updated lyrics supporting marriage equality for gay people.
There's the "You Oughts Know" acoustic version with echos of her haunting performance at the Grammys back then.
And there's "Forgiven" with its new melody and a drastically different atmosphere. -
Apr 18, 2022Uno de los mejores álbumes de la historia. Alanís se convirtió en leyenda.

For a woman who once used lyrics to shock listeners, there's nothing terribly shocking about this new CD.
-
BlenderDespite scattered flashes of uncharacteristic lightness, she rarely tempers the fury that drove the originals with the more accepting perspective that's guided her subsequent efforts. [Jul 2005, p.119]
-
Entertainment WeeklyThough pretty, the stripped-down treatment... is mostly free of innovation, softening rather than sharpening the originals' enjoyably jagged edges. [17 June 2005, p.79]
