    I do not agree to the reviews "What Critics Said" because some of them referred to the album N.B. Thats wrong because the new cd Pocket Full Of Sunshine is different from the N.B one. New songs and a couple of old songs from N.B. So the metascore isn't representative. It's not the right review for this cd. I like the new songs on this album. Check them out!

    Quirky, catchy pop songs. Inspired, heartfelt performances. Pocketful is a breath of fresh air from start to finish!

    When I have heard it for the first time, i knew that something was wrong about it... Songs are catchy, melodic and yeah, they are good... But still, i felt like it is not the right NB... and it is not! Her lyrics are less personal than ever and that kinda sucks.

    Can't believe this kind of boring pap is still being released in the 21st Century.

    Natasha Bedingfield is a genuine pop talent who often flashes hints of a greater than average ambition that could turn her into something more substantial than the likes of Rhianna, but the awkwardly assembled Pocketful of Sunshine feels inorganic in a way that Unwritten did not, less personal and more vetted by various A&R executives.

    It's good clean fun, entertaining and inoffensive.

    She sings about the minutiae of modern relationships from a feminine perspective, but a healthy dose of self-awareness regarding the archetypes she plays with and some jolly-hockey-sticks humour prevent her from slipping into Bridget Jones territory.
