    Much has been made--often unfairly--of Gray's awkwardness and lack of convention. But after several stabs at clumsy conformity, it finally feels like it's something she's embracing, and that's massively evident here.

    While there is plenty of soul in the sound, there is a lack of body in both delivery and melody.
  3. Rolling Stone
    60
    Despite the title, her new album is a softer sell--and more appealing--than 2007's Will.i.am-assisted Big.
