By sticking to a single subject, "Stone Love" lacks the range and ambition of her splendid "Mahogany Soul" album in 2001, but it is still a joy. [11 Jul 2004]
-
She's the perfect '70s soul-funk mama, and lucky for us, she's stuck in 2004.

BlenderClassicism yields all the right stuff: alert sound with a lived-in feel, finely detailed tunes that shoot straight. [Aug 2004, p.140]
-
Entertainment WeeklyEverything is balmy, modestly funky--and strangely devoid of outright passion. [9 Jul 2004, p.85]
-
A collection of rootsy yet sophisticated, summery soul grooves, with the usual nods to past masters like Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack and Glady Knight, "Stone Love" is equally at home alongside the sultry, sassy R&B of contemporaries like Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Erykah Badu.
-
Consistently admirable, but unlikely to get the charts into a tizzy.
-
UncutThe first six tracks or so of Stone Love are as good a soundtrack to summer as you're likely to get this year... Thereafter it's an interminable sea of coma-inducing ballads. [Sep 2004, p.104]
