    Excellent and refreshing! I can't wait for her next album (in the works before this one) of her own material...

    She's the next Aretha and Natalie Cole.

    It’s a good voice, but it’s not a good album.

    The dichotomy of power and sultriness is the [final] track's greatest asset. It's that same duality that should provide Joss Stone with a career that knows no limits.

    It's a record that benefits from the homogenous, warm feeling such an intimate set-up can make for, the tracks setting up Stone's remarkable voice rather than intentionally distracting from the singer's limitations.
