Charmer

"Det, der gennem tiden har været Manns garant for den gode popsang, er blevet til lidt for meget veltilpas komfort. Kun Disappeared og Living A Lie med The Shins James Mercer på gæstevokal gør væsen af sig på et album, hvor Aimee Mann gentager sig til en melodi, der er hørt lidt for ofte".

"Her livelier numbers, of which there are quite a few, aren't exactly frivolous, but they have a pulse and plenty of color which, combined with album's concise running time (the only songs to slip over the four-minute mark are the aforementioned marches, most clock in near to three), give Charmer the feel of an immediate, engaging pop record, something that Mann has threatened to deliver for many years but has always kept in reserve".
