SophiaOct 22, 2007This album is definitely the best coming out of VC's efforts, way better than her 2nd album. I strongly recommend for VC fans.

MattD.Oct 26, 2007This is Vanessa's best. Her singing is better than it was before, with less over-emoting. The classic pop arrangements here are also gripping; they suit her more perfectly than darker, more alternative material. One of the best of the year; don't know where these zero ratings are coming from!!

AllenJan 12, 2008Vanessa Carlton is truly an amazing artist inside and out and everywhere else.

AaronB.Jan 16, 2008After the "supposed" failure of Harmonium, I think this is the perfect follow up. I do feel that Harmonium suffered because it was not promoted properly, and I do feel this album is lacking a certain amount of promotion. Lets hope her upcoming tour will send her right back to the top. This is a beautiful album, and she is a wonderful musician.

PatricjHJun 8, 2008Her best album. Solid, well written, and catchy!!! Her instrumentation is less boring than "Harmonium" (which personally I found half good, half baddd). This album shows consistency. "Home" is by far my favorite!

EdwardVSep 22, 2008A inspiring album from a true artist. From my best to the rising "Home" ballad, all tracks have their certain qualities that place Vanessa as an artist of the millennium.

AlfonsoG.Oct 11, 2007Great Album! I really recommend buying this! Its a sign that there are still a few good artists these days that are really artists! She writs her own piano pices/lyrics and she sings live!

JoshuaS.Oct 16, 2007Vanessa is so amazing. Not only smart, beautiful & talented... but continues to GROW from album to album. Heroes & Thieves showcases her unique vocal stylings and shows that she is an artist with a true vison and voice. Vanessa wrote a timeless album that is a magic listen. SO many amazing songs... thanks for the new memories!

KimDec 20, 2007There is not one song on the entire album that poses as mediocre. Carlton again crafts a superb album that's just as delightful in it's panic escapades as it is in her story telling.

MichaelM.Oct 12, 2007Vanessa Carlton's third CD is quite amazing. There are relatively few albums that I enjoy from start to finish, but this is definitely one of them. This album is a must have for any "nessaholic" as well as anyone who remembers her from her "A Thousand Miles" days. Her sophomore album, Harmonium, incidentally is quite good as well!

Awards & Rankings
-
Her voice is too sweet and girlish to command, her melodies mellifluous but not grabbing--but Heroes & Thieves flows easily, and it's a nice return to the strengths of her debut.
-
Fans of Carlton's indelible white-chick anthem "A Thousand Miles," on the other hand, have plenty to be excited about, since Heroes presents another batch of appealingly wistful reflections on life and love.
-
However precious her poetry can be, Carlton always pins it to melodies that morph and expand evocatively.
