Mostly made up of charming-but-harmless ballads and little bursts of fiddly Celtic pop.

Entertainment WeeklyThis is quality Europop. [11 Jun 2004, p.123]

Borrowed Heaven's lyric sheet is filled with high school diary hackneyed favorites but if you like your pop - unadulterated pop - presented and played extremely well you're cheating yourself if you don't check it.

They sound well-written without actually being so the ultimate in pop sophistry.

Song-for-song, I'd pick In Blue over this latest. And there are, of course, lots of better albums that you can get. Still, relatively few of those albums are current albums by artists as purely pop as -- but this much better than -- Britney.

Their strengths - Andrea's innocently sensual voice, a collective ear for melody, great shoes - are negated by their adult-rock innocuousness and the inevitable fake-blarneyness.

SamOJun 22, 2004Harmless and vapid but undeniably catchy and listenable. Escapist, bubblegum pop at its best.
