    Exceptional, exemplary grown-up rock. [#4, p.120]

    It's sad to see the rocker side that Lynne has unveiled in her live sets turned into histrionic failures like "Trust Me," "Star Broker," and "Jesus On A Greyhound." [Dec 2001, p.154]

    Continues in the same vein as its predecessor, matching Lynne's soulful vocals with an array of catchy tunes. [#184, p.140]

    She keeps shifting gears in an ill-advised attempt to please too broad an audience.

    I was disappointed in this when it came out, but listening again recently I was surprised at how good it is.

    It's not the wonderfully soulful music of "I Am Shelby Lynne," but it is a good slick pop album. It's just disappointing knowing how much better Shelby can be.… Collapse
