RobertW.Mar 10, 20025Starts poorly and improves after the dreadful first three tracks. Hits the hights with "Everything Goes". Good, uncomplicated pop in places; terrible, cloying, shallow pop in others.

davedOct 22, 20032Pathetic follow up. Not one catchy tune there. Really flat pop. Forgettable.

needafOct 22, 20031Unbelievably bad. Boring. All the tracks sound the same. I liked her first album though.

RobNDec 27, 200310Very good followup to her first. That Day and Wrong Impression are very catchy and caught my ear right away. The rest of the songs are very much matured from her first album and it shows. Very good album.

DrewK.Feb 23, 200210Dude!! This is probably the best work of Nat's yet. Especially "Hurricane," which is, in my mind, the best slow song ever made. :) Buy WLI! You'll love it! Ignore those critics... :) They don't know music.

DeepalK.Mar 16, 200210Natalie is the best. And with this new release she has proved that she is the best among all. BEST SOLO SINGER...

LisaB.Mar 26, 20027A more introspective album than "Left Of The Middle." Natalie's voice is warm and clear. Good songwriting. My favorite songs are "Everything Goes" and "Hurricane". It's a solid CD.

MattD.Apr 11, 20029A haunting CD that makes Natalie step out on her own more than Left Of The Middle did.

LevisOFeb 26, 20059A really lovely album. Has yet to wear out its welcome after almost 4 years. Hope her new album is just as good!:)

MichaelL.Sep 24, 200710Simply amazing. This is an album that grows on you. The critics obviously were quick to write Natalie off as a one hit wonder and did not listen to this disk properly. Criminally underrated. Beauty On The Fire is one of the finest songs ever made. Period.

KatalieA.Mar 24, 200210it's a fantastic new record from a fantastic singer! it also tops her debut album Left Of The Middle. you can find such powerful songs on the album with a deeper meaning - AMAZING! it definitly ROCKS! :)

BenKJun 24, 20068Not as poor as critics will have you believe. There are a few songs that lack depth, but others ("Sunlight" being my favorite) that have an awful lot to offer. The sound is a nice balance between slick, layered production and Natalie's beautiful voice. Definitely satisfies when you're in the mood for some lighter pop.

BrianN.Aug 14, 20077huge letdown from her unbelievable debut.
-
-
60The actual tunes may not be particularly strong, but crucially, at the centre of it all Natalie croons and sighs with all the clear-eyed moonfaced sweetness of Juliette Binoche baking cakes. [Dec 2001, p.116]
-
One can sense that she has complete control, lyrically and musically.
-
Despite Imbruglia's big, pouty voice, it's all perfectly pleasant and quickly forgotten.
