[Anonymous]Nov 22, 200810Mature and so refreshingly different to the sound most artistes are going for today.

Jul 23, 20119I continue to enjoy Dido's music, which is in some ways hasn't changed over the years, but has still matured. Her voice remains gorgeous and the music is personal and lovely.

JonH.Nov 21, 200810Her best album yet, a definite rebound after the beautiful but somewhat slight Life For Rent. There isn't a lot of singles here, but that's not a bad thing. The songs creep into your skull and stay with you. You'll be humming them to yourself soon. Check out Don't Believe in Love, Grafton Street, It Comes and It Goes and Burnin Love.

JohannaM.Nov 18, 20086The album, taken as a whole, is quite nice. but very bland. It seems to largely be the same stuff you'd expect as filler tracks on Dido albums, but with none of the exceptional gems as seem in "Sand in my shoes" or "Isobel" from her first two albums.

K.B.Nov 21, 20089It's really more intense than everything she done before. It's her best album ever.

May 1, 20123It's well produced, certainly. But it's a well produced bland and dull album. "Safe" would be an adventurous description. Dido's voice sounds effortless. But it also sounds emotionless and completely unengaged, too. She could be singing the instructions for a Sanyo microwave or an account of unendurable human sorrow - it would be impossible to tell the difference

The emotion in these sad, subtle songs seems inherent enough, though you may still find yourself wishing she'd allowed the slightest hint of it to creep into her voice.

This album is a mature and thoughtful collection of songs and a fine memorial to her father, who would have been right to be proud.

50Dido's third solo album reveals an unyielding fear of intimacy, her mellow trip-pop (coproduced by Jon Brion) buckling underneath sadness and alienation.
