    The best album by a girl group, period. A masterclass. Gorgeous harmonies, outstanding lyrics. This album takes me places.

    Gorgeous album. The songs are very consistent, with the exception of "Don't Look Over Your Shoulder" which is a great song but might not be in the same vibe as the rest. Shaznay Lewis is an amazing songwriter, and the collaborations with William Orbit are priceless. Definitely the best album by the band so far. Recommended!

    Sun-kissed first single Love Lasts Forever aside, the songs are often suffocated by vaguely outre production flourishes. [Sep 2018, p.110]

    Lurking behind the sisterly triumphalism, though, is a conflicted message about being rescued from the shelf (“All before I lose my faith/ Just like magic, he came and saved my fall from grace”), and it has the unfortunate effect of turning a march of the Valkyries into a last stand of the spinsters. But sexual politics aside (and we will get to that), All Saints’ new album is pretty great, one you wished they had made back in 2001, when people might have cared.

    They [After All and Testament In Motion] are proof there’s potential here, but Testament is mostly weak Lemonade.
