    These songs are sung nicely enough, but like "Medusa," it takes on other people's songs and falters in the end. Annie should stick to her own material. Even "Bare," which has a few weak songs, is better than this outing into the world of Billie Holiday - someone Annie has nothing or very little in common with. Some songs are better left alone after they've been sung be a genius.

    Nostalgia is music perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and an omelet in the morning hours, while slowly waking to the world. Rarely does it command the full attention of the listener and oftentimes it borders on background music, something that Lennox never intended.

    Straight and true, without a trace of rear-view-mirror sentimentality. [Nov 2014, p.92]

    She and co-producer Mike Stevens keep the production mostly clean and warm, though the song selection is sometimes curious.
