    History admittedly feels a bit forced in spots, working too hard to set the mood, instead of letting things happen organically.

    Opener Habub Faye is a lovely slice of sophisticated pop, as are the rootsier Macoumba and Ay Coono La. ... Yet there is still space for two absolute clunkers. [Aug 2019, p.97]

    The songs on History are great, the arrangements lovely, if occasionally a little overly slick.

    N’Dour sings with accustomed majesty throughout; sometimes commanding, sometimes anguished, an always urgent force of nature.

    His return is an oddly subdued affair. [Aug 2019, p.35]
