Heavily Underrated - Sheryl's Best - By: D. Winchester, 19 Nov 2002 
The much-awaited return from Ms Crow after a criticallly disappointing second album is perhaps her top offering. Opening track My Favourite Mistake is quite possibly her finest ever song, while ample support can be found in underrated singles There Goes the Neighbourhood & Anything But Down. Even a critical mauling can't hide the musical excellence that Crow exemplifies on the multifold excellent album tracks - Am I Getting Through & It Don't Hurt are the best examples, with the latter displaying a guitar solo strongly reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. The collection is mostly self-penned material, with exceptions in covers of Bob Dylan’s Mississippi & a more than passable alternative to the Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine. Even the hidden track Subway is rather special.
Love it. - By: , 18 Jun 2001 
Firstly, if i could give this CD 4 & a 1/2 stars, i would.
This was bought for me by my parents after Sheryl Crow did a "blinding" live set at a Stones gig a few years ago, & i wish now that i had been there to see it. "The Globe Sessions" is one of those CD's that everyone has, but no one fully appreciates until later. My favourite tracks have got to be 'Am i Getting Through' (both 'parts'!!), 'The Difficult Kind' & 'Anything but Down', which is a great track to sing your heart out to. I also find the intro of 'Resuscitation' pretty cool,in a 'twangy' way! This is my favourite album to sit & listen to, a great album - sometimes laid back, sometimes full of emotion, & i don't have to get up & press the 'skip' button too often (only on 'Maybe Thats Something'- i'm not sure about that one, but i'm sure it'll grow on me!)
It may not be as good as "Tuesday Night Music Club", but its still damm good!!
I love it.
Excellent stuff from Ms Crow - By: , 15 May 2001 I've owned this album for quite a while now & it's one I often come back to. There is a great deal of variety to this album & a nice sense of it not being too commercial. A feeling that these are the songs which Sheryl Crow wanted to write. And she sings them so personallly that you can believe it. There are moments in some of the songs which affect me a lot - especiallly in "My Favourite Mistake" & "Difficult Kind" but there are loads of places where you sit back & are plain impressed...
Chosen for BBC Webwise - By: molly@maidenhead.co.uk, 20 Mar 2001 In case anyone is wondering - as I was - what is the brilliant music into on the BBC Webwise Program - Its Track 4 - It Dont Hurt off this brilliant album - Shame Eric Clapton wasnt around on this one!
Back to her best... - By: , 23 Feb 2001 I was tempted to give this CD 5 stars! If a 4 & a half star rating existed I would give it that. Sheryl's first album, "The Tuesday Night Music Club" was oustanding & just seemed fresh & interesting somehow. Then her 2nd, "Sheryl Crow" was a bit too commercial, as if it was written more to sell records than to reallly produce good music. It was also a little too heavy for her style of singing. This is much more like it - more her style. Great lyrics - good, catchy but not-too-commercial melodies. And there's real variety in this album. Her version of Dylan's "Mississippi" is superb! It's one of those albums you can put on because you want to listen to 5 or 10 minutes music...and end up listening to the whole album! Again & again. It reallly is good - & I'm looking forward to her next album now!
