    It couldn't have been a better name than "Need You Now" for the second album by country trio Lady A. The lead single "Need You Now" is a a beautiful country pop ballad and the best song of the album so far when Scott's voice really makes the song. Even she could sing it alone without needing of Kelley's voice. A simply stunning overture. Lyrics are varied as we can see in "Perfect Day", aIt couldn't have been a better name than "Need You Now" for the second album by country trio Lady A.

Even she could sing it alone without needing of Kelley's voice. A simply stunning overture. Lyrics are varied as we can see in "Perfect Day", a really happy song when Scott's voice returns to show its good complement with country melodies. There's no so many differences in the rhythm of songs. Except for "Need You Now", all the songs seem similar, which make the album a little monotonous, considering this spot.… Expand

    Need You Now is a dull album. All the songs, with the exception of Need You Now and Perfect Day, all sound monotonous and similar after a few listens. It feels most of the album is composed of filler songs, with no remarkable talent evident in lyrics, vocals, and even composition.

This album is purely made with the intention to capitalize on the success of the lead single Need You Now, making this album musically bland. If their reputation is based on this sole album, they would be a one-hit wonder. Overall, Need You Know is a heavily commercialized album consisting of filler songs intermixed with a few great country hits.… Expand

    On their sophomore effort, they stick very close to the formula of their debut: a slew of mid- and uptempo love songs, a sad ballad, and a couple of rocked-up good-time tunes--all self-written with some help from some of Nashville’s most respected writers.

    The band is playing on the safe side on its less vibrant and surprising sophomore release.

    On Need You Now, they try to define themselves outside the hive, and though the disc contains no shortage of uptempo charmers--''Perfect Day,'' ''Stars Tonight''--they're most successful when they keep to the moody minor-key stuff.
