    I wanted to hate this album, and didn't buy it when it first came out, though I had all Hill's previous albums. I knew where it was coming from, knew it wasn't country, and was going to be more Celine Dion than anything, but then I saw it going cheap in a sale... ...And I can't quite hate it as much as I thought I was going to. Never mind the style of the song, I do I wanted to hate this album, and didn't buy it when it first came out, though I had all Hill's previous albums. I knew where it was coming from, knew it wasn't country, and was going to be more Celine Dion than anything, but then I saw it going cheap in a sale... ...And I can't quite hate it as much as I thought I was going to. Never mind the style of the song, I do miss steel guitar and fiddle, banjo, mandolin. I don't care for Dolly or Emmylou, but I like the texture of country instruments, so it's a shame she's abandoned them. That said, she's still a great performer, and some of these songs are pretty good. I think she should get over wanting to be a diva, but you can't deny her talent, whatever she's doing.… Expand

    It's about as vibrant and sweat-streaked as mainstream pop gets. [Dec 2002, p.105]

    The Nashville hottie shakes off some of her past cobwebs for slicker, bawdier rock and a collection of power ballads--most destined for a high school prom slow dance near you.

    On Cry, Hill ripens, showing a boldness few artists ever manage. [#12, p.145]
