JamilaSMar 23, 2003this is a great creative work or art. I love it. someone said she used Samuel Walter Foss' (1858-1911) classic poem "Bring Me Men" to write her song "Empires.", but if you go to this site http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/4358/bringmemen.html and read the poem, only the first two lines were used. It was probably her inspiration for the song.

AmberOct 12, 2002This album is a collage of sounds....which is usually a sign of good creativity...in this case its sort of an attempt at good creativity...dont get me wrong the songs possess that kate bush, alanis, erykah badu vibe all rolled into one...but i think with such diverse gifts as lamya has...more could have been done with this cd.

JeremyOct 9, 2002Musically creative at a minimum. It's just a shame she "borrowed" her lyrics from Samuel Walter Foss' (1858-1911) classic poem "Bring Me Men" to write her song "Empires." She even seemed to take credit for it on after her performance on "Regis." Too bad she's not honest enough to credit the original author.

BethyBOct 2, 2002I have to agree with the Blender and Rolling Stone reviews. I wanted to like this record but it's not what it should've or could've been. It's one of those CD's that's ALMOST good. I think the record company got too involved and overshadowed what may have been a great and original record. Now despite all the effort, she just sounds like a lame copy of India.Arie.

Q MagazineLocates her coffee-cream vocals amid glossy settings ranging from hip hop to gurgling electronica and folk. [Nov 2002, p.105]

BlenderThe sitar flourishes ini "Splitting Atoms" are muted by Learning's adult sheen, which lands this unusual record in an awkward middle ground between Bjork and, say, Oleta Adams. [#9, p.150]

The album as a whole isn't quite as brilliant as it ought to be, given the ideas at play.
