    This is a near flawless work of art. It's not half as contrived as half the pop albums that come out these days and Heap herself is one joyful, quirky breath of fresh air. This is a beautiful album.

    Each heapsong has a spectacularly unique tale told by Imogen Heap during 3-4 years of working this highly innovative album. Sparks is a delightful experience that is definitely going to take you away to dreamy places you can imagine. Immi never disappoints the fans with her wonderful magic.

    By the end of Sparks, there is really nothing else left to do but marvel at the brilliance of Imogen Heap.

    At times, it's a frustrating, self-absorbing listen. [Oct 2014, p.110]

    Sparks is an album containing its share of diamonds, but only if you’re willing to sift through the rough in order to find them.
