    Bold, visionary and, in places, spine-tingling. [Mar 2014, p.78]

    The songs are crisp, uptempo, concise.

    There are several milestones in Kidjo's nearly 30-year recording career; Eve is certainly one of them.

    Eve is yet another record from Angelique Kidjo that reaffirms her position as one of the most significant Africans performing today, and is the sound of her reaching out and celebrating the strong spirit and power of African women that she embodies.

    Consistent from start to finish, Eve capably delivers the goods.

    If the flavor is international, the beef is still all hers, her skyscraper of a voice dominating all around it. [Mar 2014, p.114]

    The result is a lavishly produced, cheerfully upbeat set with the massed vocals matched against bubbling keyboards, guitars and percussion, and the Kronos Quartet and the Luxembourg Philharmonic somehow fighting their way into the mix.

    Inveterate collaborators Dr John and Kairos 4tet also add variety to a somewhat one-paced set.
