    The album, taken as a whole, is quite nice. but very bland. It seems to largely be the same stuff you'd expect as filler tracks on Dido albums, but with none of the exceptional gems as seem in "Sand in my shoes" or "Isobel" from her first two albums.

    The emotion in these sad, subtle songs seems inherent enough, though you may still find yourself wishing she'd allowed the slightest hint of it to creep into her voice.

    This album is a mature and thoughtful collection of songs and a fine memorial to her father, who would have been right to be proud.

    Dido's third solo album reveals an unyielding fear of intimacy, her mellow trip-pop (coproduced by Jon Brion) buckling underneath sadness and alienation.
