tiasJul 8, 2004I think Alicia Keys is a very brilliant singer, and inspires me to want to sing. But unfortunatly I don't have a voice as good as hers!

JDSep 2, 2005Very good album, however, I feel this will be the last and the only album she will ever make as good as this. I can listen to every amazing song up until Dragon Days. After Dragon Days is over I put the CD back on the shelf because the rest isn't good at all. Definetly talented, but she isn't the next Mariah Carey

JaniceGDec 5, 2003Just when you think Alicia Keys is amazing...she comes out w/ an album like the Diary of Alicia Keys. It is a fabulous piece of art. Her voice and piano skills are amazing and the work on this cd is priceless.

VandeshaLDec 23, 2003Don't get me wrong Alicia Keys is on a popping but this album was pumped up just a bit too much. I rally enjoyed track 5 You Dont Know My Name, track 6 If I Aint Got You, and track 7 Diary. Other than that the other songs are not my style maybe cool for some just not me.

Aug 16, 2017Es para mí, el mejor álbum de Alicia K. Muestra la verdadera Alicia y la que queríamos conocer desde adentro, es sin duda un obra maestra y maravillosamente mágica.

Apr 28, 2022Great Debut Album
Neo Soul and R&B style as its Best with Alicias unique Piano Playin and her unusual Sexy Voice
Awards & Rankings
-
VibeBrimming with updated old-school joints, original balladry, and classic-sounding R&B, Diary finds Keys more relaxed, confident, and committed to the tunes of the '70s than ever before. [Feb 2004, p.127]
-
The project is clearly laboring to be relevant to the current marketplace and thus suffers from a serious lack of cohesion.
-
Keys plays it far too safe here: There's nothing that will offend, and the content is patently generic enough that almost anyone, lovelorn or heartbroken, can build a personal soundtrack of romantic woe from its raw materials.
