    Ultimately, as beautiful as it is in its more subdued moments, the album feels fully realised when her alternative and mainstream instincts find each other.

    She's made an album that deserves to linger in the limelight--passionate, powerful and possessed of real star quality. [Feb 2012, p.98]

    Her vocals are absolute delight. The album is great from start to finish. Smooth soulful songs. Simply the best album of 2012 for me, it is still on the repeat months after I purchased it. Expand
  3. What a fantastic debut album from this very talented singer! Full of hits that have made her one of the best talents today! Some of the album tracks are a little slow and dull but as a whole this is one very impressive debut album. Expand
  4. Emeli Sandé for over three years successfully marked her presence in the music world, but until now the Scottish artist has decided to release her debut album, on which there was room for up to four singles. The whole CD is based on the soulful arrangements, accompanied by a characteristic to the R&B vocals. Despite the repetition of some themes on the album, the compositions placed on it are so vivid, so stirring atmosphere that can enchant the listener. Expand
