    [Producer] Michael Lockwood lets her coast along over bland accompaniment. [Oct 2002, p.114]
  2. The songs are not as strong overall as on her previous albums, and the tempo neither flags nor picks up over the course of the album.
  3. For her fans, the news is that she's invested her profits in studio musicians. Takes talent to make that more boring than solo acoustic, no?
  4. The tempos and melodies drag throughout; it's as though we've heard Mann sing these songs before, only here her understated passion comes off more like overstated indifference.
