Primarily lackluster.
-
UncutDeeply average. [Apr 2004, p.91]
-
There's an excessive attention to detail to each song, and that tunnel vision means each song runs about a minute or two longer than it should.... That's unfortunate because the core of the album is quite good.

BlenderA prince's share of his royal talent survives. [Aug 2004, p.136]
-
Entertainment WeeklyBaring your tortured soul is one thing, but unleashing a barrage of self-pitying ballads and expecting people to listen is a test of even the most open-minded fan's patience. [4 June 2004, p.80]
-
Patience is far too long to hold my attention, and nowhere near as consistent as either Older or Listen without Prejudice Vol.1, but there are moments here which surpass the strongest songs on either of those previous classics.
-
One meandering ballad follows another, each one overlong and labouring under the illusion that emotional profundity is more important than a decent tune.
