JosephAFeb 8, 2007Boring. New tricks for the same old dog. Not 3rd album material. If this were the second record I'd probably love it. But as #3, it stinks. Time for a new dog,

stevehMar 7, 2007perfect. just what I was expecting to emanate from norah jones' heart and soul.

HWJan 31, 2007Great 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.

FredBFeb 12, 2007At 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.

JohnHFeb 8, 2007Nora's silky jazz voice is wasted on simplistic and immature notions put to lyrics. Such a sophisticated and talented voice is betrayed by too much sophmoric prattle.

AaronLMar 7, 2007Nora has done it again... An Amazing sound... and deep lerics ... Takes me away to some smoky bar in New Orleans...

VikasSApr 17, 2007I liked sinkin' soon the best. The rest is quiet mellow and sombre. The albumn makes a perfect lounge room companion when you have a few guests over for martinis and cocktails.

helenejFeb 1, 2007Norah Jones' most personal album with darker strains underneath the smooth surface. A moving beautiful record. And Mrs Jones' voice, as irresistible as always.

SFeb 17, 2007Best 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.

JoyCureFeb 7, 2007Wonderfully moving. A great album, as usual. Couldn't wait to get it and I was not dissappointed a bit.

BadgerGMar 13, 2007Huh? What? oh sorry I was listening to this album and I must have dozed off. Do people actually like this boring crap, I mean, to listen to?

PeterAug 22, 2008I agree, this cd is very boring. Never before in my life I regretted more that I bought a cd. At least on Soul Mining from The The there is one good song, this album has none! It sounds lame, I wish I could return it.

NickMJan 31, 2007honestly, i was rather disappointed with this cd. her first two albums blew me away they were so amazing, however i thought this one was very sub-par. the songs were not very clever or inspiring, and there was only one or two songs that were memorable.

JeffN.Jan 31, 2007Critics 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!

CharlesBFeb 11, 2007The melodies are pleasant, though forgettable, and the lyrics are those of a dreamy high schooler with little contact with the real world and an inability to think in anything but a superficial way.

RobertZApr 18, 2007Not too late! Awesome performance that was better than her last effort. I rate this a "10" all the way.

Jun 29, 2012A little too much guitar and not enough piano. I know she was trying something new and for that she is to be commended but sticking to what worked so well on the previous albums would have been a better choice.
-
Nov 9, 2012Not Too Late, the third release from Norah Jones, still showcases her beautiful voice, but I think the lyrics could've cut a little deeper than they did.
-
Jun 23, 2018I admit that when it was released, i thought this is her best work. An album which takes the risk to be too dark and a bit political (My Dear Country).
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.
-
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.
