    A skillful synthesis of classic rock and modern sensibilities that's pretty irresistible.

    More pop than Americana, ''C'mon, C'mon'' is her most overbaked work, swathed in strings, layers of guitars, drum loops, and whatever else was available in the studio. It's an approach that can backfire as much as it can inspire.
  3. Billboard
    80
    A masterfully crafted collection that warmly recalls the era of album-driven FM rock radio.

    Crow's subtle, stirring vocal style exhibits the same resilient innocence that makes Meg Ryan a sympathetic screen star. [Apr/May 2002, p.115]

    One of the best commercial rock albums of the year so far, and the sort of quality work that should dispel any skepticism about Crow's current hyper exposure.
  7. Village Voice

    Only the tragic decision to duet with former employer Don Henley mars the ride.

    There are more than enough moments when Sheryl really shines in that Sheryl way.
  9. CultureDose.net

    Not entirely the soul baring effort that one would have expected, nor exactly the breezy Summer album that critics are saying it is, what Sheryl has cooked up here is a highly pleasing stew that is one third smart Pop, one third touching love songs, and one third “look at all my famous friends” posturing.
  10. Spin

    C'Mon, C'Mon makes such consensus-building sound like a virtue, imagining a world where the Dixie Chicks and Stevie Nicks and Emmylou Harris and Dr. Dre's bass player can all ride the same tour bus. [May 2002, p.118]

    One great song (Steve McQueen). The rest is mediocre-to-wretched.

    Wow. It's amazing, coz first I loved all of the singles. Then I finally heard the whole disc and now I hate the singles and love Wow. It's amazing, coz first I loved all of the singles. Then I finally heard the whole disc and now I hate the singles and love everything else. "It's So Easy" is tragically beautiful, written through the eyes of a a woman in love with a married man, "It's Only Love" tells of her broken heart when the man dumps her. It's a story, really. The story of a helpless romantic woman who's looking for love in all the wrong places. "Abilene", the best track on the album, is inspiring.… Full Review »

    It is a light rock-pop album that inspires and suites every mood. If you wanna have some fun, "Soak up the sun", if you wanna shout and It is a light rock-pop album that inspires and suites every mood. If you wanna have some fun, "Soak up the sun", if you wanna shout and scream, "steve mqueen" and if your heart is broken too, "Over you." You can listen to it any time, good mood or bad, and there will be a song to cheer you up. Some of Sheryl's best work to date, this album features some heart rendering songs about broken hearts, but this, seemingly, is what Sheryl does best! 10/10. She's proved yet again that she definately has what it takes to be a rock legend!… Full Review »
