    She can carry a tune, sure, but as far as expressing emotion goes, she's relentlessly, huskily one-note. [Oct 2004, p.112]
  2. Q Magazine

    There are rather too many old-fashioned slow songs here, and as a result, the album is predictable. [Oct 2004, p.114]
  3. Rolling Stone

    As on her last album, tasteful retro organs and wah-wah dominate this batch of originals. [28 Oct 2004, p.99]
  4. All the ingredients are thus there for long-term success, and this record is best seen as a stepping stone by which she shouldn't be judged too exactingly.
  5. Entertainment Weekly

    Monotonously midtempo, supper-club soul... Even during those moments when the grooves lighten up, Stone drags them down with her mannered delivery. [1 Oct 2004, p.72]
  6. Blender
    60
    Split[s] the difference between guaranteed hook appeal and a decent simulation of emotional truth. [Oct 2004, p.129]

    I love her soulful vibe, Joss Stone's sophomore album is just as great as her debut!
