    Great album. Rich sound, wonderful texture. Certainly not a wholesale departure, but why mess with success? Norah builds on the solid foundation that got her here by artfully adding a new level of sophistication.

    At first listen, I was mildly disappointed; but this album grows on me every day. I always loved the songs Norah wrote, and this album is all Norah. Now, it's my favorite Norah Jones album. This isn't background music, and I strongly recommend that anyone listen to it fairly loud on a good stereo system -- focusing on words and music -- before they judge it.

    Beautiful album. Smooth and warming. Best tracks are: BROKEN. MY DEAR COUNTRY, THINKING ABOUT YOU.

    A little different for her, but excellent as always.

    Norah Jones' most personal album with darker strains underneath the smooth surface. A moving beautiful record. And Mrs Jones' voice, as irresistible as always.

    Best album from Norah Jones so far. Gets the balance between optimism and darkness just right lyrically, and her voice is as magnificent as ever. Perhaps not as immediate or commercial as her preceding albums, but all the better for it, quite frankly.

    Wonderfully moving. A great album, as usual. Couldn't wait to get it and I was not dissappointed a bit.

    Critics have said that this album shows Norah needing to "show [us] more than this..." In my opinion, I'm just happy to get some new music from one of my favorite artists!

    Not too late! Awesome performance that was better than her last effort. I rate this a "10" all the way.

    The darker, more mischievous mood at work is perfectly complemented by arrangements that are as inventive as they are austere.

    A very good showcase for Jones's evolution as a writer and musician.

    Sonically, at least, the album takes only a small step away from the latte-lover mainstream.
