HoneyMar 20, 2007One of the best albums of last year (and this year in the States); Winehouse delivers a soulful punch in the gut, complete with spot-on vocals and plenty of attitude and intelligence.

lilsAug 4, 2007Great, one of the year's bests. Great voice, smart lyrics, which seem hard to sing on the paper, but she pulls it out easily. Very bluesy, very honest, very british, with Rehab as an instant classic. And for all of you who say she's a one hit wonder, she had another great record, Frank, and it's single Stronger than Me won Ivor Novello. I hope we'll be hearing more of her!

ChrisFeb 19, 2008Amazing lyrics, true soul, great voice and incredible sound. This is the perfect example of a classic album and her career seems to be just starting!

ArieBFeb 4, 2008Haven't been so enthusiastic for a singer since D'Angelo. The guy disappeared...and so did hopes for old school soul. But Amy, wow, it's another dimension. Everything about this album is amazing. I only wish she takes care of herself, learns to be low key and keeps on blessing us with her talent for a very long time.

ChrisSMar 16, 2007It's refreshing, soulful and emotional... She puts everyone in the game right now to shame... You can hear jazz, motown and real soul on this record and still getting a modern day satisfaction...

BenKMay 11, 2007How anyone can dislike this album is seriously beyond me. Her vocals are strong and unique, her lyrics are to die for, and the music is insanely catchy in an innovative way. Amy is love.

AlfredoMMay 25, 2007Her unique voice and daring lyrics makes this album one of the year's best!!! The song "Back To Black" is just outstanding.

kevind.Jun 17, 2007brilliant, a refreshing relief from the crap music around these days. as usual, Rolling Stone misses the mark yet again by only giving it 3 stars. no surprise there...

[Anonymous]Jul 15, 2007this is great . no questions about it. every track is a killer , a bit short ... but i suppose that just makes you want to play it again

JCT.Jul 2, 2007This album, in my opinion, is the best R&B album to be released since 1998's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill." Though the cd only contains 10 tracks, each one is a winner; there are NO fillers. She's definitely solidified her Best New Artist nomination -- and a win isn't an insurmountable feat for her at this point. Pure genius.

Back to Black stands in testament to the fact that talent and originality still exist.

Entertainment WeeklyIt's precisely Winehouse's lyrics... that raise this expertly crafted set into the realm of true, of-the-minute originality. [16 Mar 2007, p.67]
-
Blender[It] sounds fantastic--partly because the production nails sample-ready '60s soul right down to the drum sound' and partly because Winehouse is one hell of an impressive singer. [Apr 2007, p.121]
