Gabrielle's eponymous second album isn't all that dissimiliar from her debut Find Your Way. It's still the same mix of appealingly lightweight pop, urban soul and Eurotrash disco that made the debut a success, and it still has the same ratio of winners to clunkers. So, there's not much different at all, but that's not bad, because the singles, including "Give Me a Little More Time," are fine pop concotions that make Gabrielle a frothy, guilty pleasure. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
