DaveM.Apr 27, 2002Darling Lorraine is for me a brilliant song It seems to encapsulste both sides of any modern relationship Never been as moved since Rene & Georgette Magrit. Decades gliding by like indians.....

JasonAug 27, 2002Quite beautiful. If you enjoyed either of Simon's last two major solo efforts, you will, upon a second or third listening, truly love this album.

MartinRDec 1, 2006How can you get belly laughs out of wicked social criticism? "Pig, Sheep and Wolves" will show you. Looking for love? Try "Darling Lorraine" and "You're the One" for loves lost from two sides of the coin. This is brilliant stuff.

"Somewhere in a burst of glory/Sound becomes a song/I'm bound to tell a story/That's where I belong," Simon sings on the new album's opening track, and the comfort and command he displays throughout You're the One demonstrate that he's right.

Checkout.comOn his new album, You're the One, the singer's lyrics are masterful as ever, but their emotional punch is compromised considerably by syrupy melodies and uninspired production.
