CD ReviewsDisappointing at best Thomas W. Altizer | Arlington, VA, United States | 06/13/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "After a couple of soulful and enjoyable albums, on this one Amel Larrieux sounds as if she's channeling Rickie Lee Jones. This music doesn't fit the delivery stylings found here. This is not a CD I'll listen to often. If this is a new path for this vocalist, she'll be traveling it with few companions, I predict." Not that great, to me Lhore Baby | Planet Earth | 06/04/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "I LOVE AMEL. I have purchased all of her albums with no regret. However, I'm not too fond of this one. Don't get me wrong, I love the jazzy atmosphere of the album. But Amel shouldn't be soooo... "breathless!" (for lack of a better word). Some songs the music flows nicely, but the harmonies and scats (or whatever it is that she's attempting to do) just don't flow. It's a total mismatch, in my opinion. I've listened to this album 2 times and I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't the album that I had expected. It hasn't really "grabbed" me just yet. I'll continue to listen and might update my rating, but for now it remains. I'll give her an E for effort, though." Not quite a jazz vocalist... H. Barrett | Smyrna, Georgia | 05/24/2007 (2 out of 5 stars) "I have really enjoyed Amel's previous work and was gladly anticipating a jazzy album when I realized she was singing standards. Unfortunately, I found that the album was extremely slow and that the enunciation was a tad off. I had to pay close attention just to figure out what she was saying. Overall, I love a great jazz vocalist. Sadly, this CD did not fit the bill."
