    With a surfeit of samey country-rock ballads, Not Too Late ultimately proves rather a long haul. [Feb 2007, p.98]

    It's pretty music, beautifully performed. But Norah Jones has more to offer than this.
  3. Dot Music

    Norah's most personal collection of songs to date.

    Mildly adventurous.

    Its ragged, unfinished nature illustrates that she's more interested in pursuing her art than recycling Come Away with Me, and if this third album isn't as satisfying as that debut, it nevertheless is a welcome transitional effort that proves her artistic heart is in the right place.

    While Not Too Late is a shade darker than her mega-selling, Grammy-winning template, it's highly unlikely to win all that many new converts, and fans may find this album a little bit of a slog in places.

    That voice is still "that voice," but gravity was never what made it fly.

    Again, the results are a mutant virus of gorgeous and bland, grainy and slick. [Mar 2007, p.135]

    I still appreciate it for what it is but it's not as good as her recent efforts. My Dear Country and Sinkin Soon are the highlights of the album.    … Full Review »
