    Joss Stone has the looks, the voice and the originality to make it in the post-Norah Jones pop industry, but she needs to be careful not to stay to precisely to the image/sound she's in at the moment, because what in The Soul Sessions came across as strikingly authentic interpretations of old soul classics now comes across as kitsch.

  1. Blender

    Split[s] the difference between guaranteed hook appeal and a decent simulation of emotional truth. [Oct 2004, p.129]
  2. Q Magazine
    60
    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
    60
    As on her last album, tasteful retro organs and wah-wah dominate this batch of originals. [28 Oct 2004, p.99]
