    An outstanding project which sheds light on something that hasn't been dominant in Kylie's music before: deeper emotions. The most surprising takes are on the early singles: the sadness and seriousness of the songs were often drowned by the sugary pop-cover of PWL production, but on 'The Abbey Road Sessions', they are able to shine in all their glory.
    Notable: 'Better The Devil You Know',     'Hand On Your Heart', 'Confide In Me', 'Slow', 'Locomotion', 'Never Too Late'.… Expand

    "Though, after a while, the album does sound repetitive with its same orchestral style, it does present a trademark album to Kylie, showing that Kylie won't be hanging up her goldpants any time soon."

    Re-recording one's old songs in an older style isn't a revolutionary manoeuvre.... Kylie's addition to the tradition is also a fairly mixed bag.

    As a singer, Kylie still sounds about 15 and her voice sometimes struggles not to be engulfed by the swells of strings and legions of backing singers. Nevertheless, for the most part, this is quality stuff. [Dec 2012, p.101]

    In some cases, that sugary voice which works so well as a pop vehicle lacks the full-bodied character to carry a big ballad.
