    This album is an attempt at a happy pop album from James Blunt which feels like he didn't really put his soul into the songs like he did with previous albums. The songs have less emotion. They are however still good songs and are extremely catchy. You will be humming along after the first course of most of the songs. So not a bad listen but he can do much better.

    Nice..Fresh and acceptable.............Better than his last album but not lives up to Back To Bedlam ..........songs like Stay The Night and Calling Out Your Name are the best on this record

    Aside from the brilliant departure offered by the album's opener, Blunt has lost all concept of how to sound like himself. His voice is the same, but it's singing songs that don't sound like his songs.

    Sadly, Blunt's warbling renders most of them unpalatable. [Jan 2011, p.83]

    From the plinky, high-tuned acoustic guitar to the mindlessly skippy rhythm to the "whoa-oh-oh-ooh" chant, there's not a major element of "Stay the Night" that doesn't sound exactly like "Hey, Soul Sister." For some, that's a selling point; for others, a warning siren.
