Industry Reviews
Spin (1/01, pp.113-4) - 8 out of 10 - "...An airy album, demo-like in its simplicity....Sade has never put out anything quite so ephemeral....practically hanging in the air like mist....devastating..."
Q (12/00, pp.132-3) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Attractively bespoke..."
Mixmag (12/00, p.181) - 5 out of 5 - "...Her glorious, bretahy vocals and raw and emotive production are as untainted and timeless as ever..."
Vibe (12/00, pp.195-6) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...proves that such a remarkable voice can survive 8 years between albums and still sound vital. Her voice is controlled, elegant, and radiantly cool - so beautiful, so simple, so necessary..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, pp.110-1) - "...[Her] appealingly blank vocals are intricately layered and the delicate, spacious arrangements...underline her desolate quality....it still goes well with cocktails..."
