Critic Reviews

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With assistance from former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, who doodles Beatlesesque solos and provides evocative retro production, Duffy makes a case for herself as Amy Winehouse's better-behaved sister."
Rolling Stone (p.92) - Ranked #30 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[T]he best LP to emerge from the U.K.'s R&B renaissance this year."
Spin (p.48) - Ranked #24 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[T]he frankness of her delivery makes the results anything but studied."

Mojo (Publisher) (p.66) - Ranked #31 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[M]usic of lasting quality..."
