MattOct 5, 2005Tied for her best album! Only Exile In Guyville matches it. It's a perfect combination of her pop sound with other styles of music she likes.

MikeOct 13, 2005I was so looking forward to this one and am SO disappointed. It is boring and totally BLAH.

LevisOOct 3, 2005A massive improvement on the self titled. Still not up there with Guyville nor wcse but a great album. Welcome back, Liz.

JjKelleOct 4, 2005I great album and a huge step up from the self-titled. This is the Liz Phair I fell in love with.

KatieWOct 4, 2005People might like this album only becuase it is Liz Phair. Or people might hate this album only becuase it is Liz Phair. If you take her name off the album and just judge it sonically, the ablum is subpar. Mediocore at best. The vocals can not stand up to the way to glossy production. It sounds very run of the mill.

EthanOct 16, 2005Why are critics so intent on Liz having to sound like the records of her past? Perhaps she has evolved into something a bit more "commercial" because she wants to and that is a GOOD thing. This album has a consistent engaging chord arrangements and - god forbid - some pop & rock hooks. Guess what folks - It works! A great album.

PattyHOct 25, 2005This album is so vanilla. Anyone could sing these songs. Nothing memorable whatsovever.

StevekOct 26, 2005Long time Liz fan, not impressed on the first listen, but the album really grows on you. It's absurd that so many reviewers review to the album as banal and dull, it's fun and somewhat poppy, but more banal than the rest of what's out there??? i don't think so. Good album, buy it and enjoy it.

AllieOct 30, 2005you have to listen to this cd a time or two--and do so with the lyrics. Got My Own Thing is an instant classic. on others: the first time i head Wind and Mountain i hated it. But listen carefully--it, is more complex than you think.

mikesOct 4, 2005A solid effort! Much better than the self titled.

MattBOct 4, 2005It's still Liz.. and she's always going to be great.. But it is a very "nice" album.. It's not amazing. There are some very good songs .. but she's someone else now and i'm not gonna crucify her for her ... amazing writing in the past.

JustinNJul 5, 2009Liz Phair the self-titled album alienated most of her fans. Now she's decided to mix the quieter moments of her old album with whitechocolatespaceegg(her third album) and Sheryl Crow and this is dull and stale. At least Table For One's lyrics are awesome.

othosNov 24, 2005Having been charmed by her in a restaurant where I met her while she lived in Chicago and having loved the first three CDs, I can't totally bash Liz. I know she needs to make a living. The irony is that the last two records of pabulum haven't sold much better than the first three. What's the point of selling out if you aren't selling?

May 15, 2018the only thing i can actually say about this is... this is really bad, really crap

Aug 5, 2022This album is so good. "Leap Of Innocence" and "Everything (Between Us) are 2 of her best songs.

Los Angeles Times[It] isn't a miracle by a long shot, but the highlights show signs of a once-valuable artist trying to reset her creative compass. [2 Oct 2005]

Now this is a terrible Liz Phair record.
