"Her chemistry with her bandmates, along with the album's producers, is evident. And there's little wonder why - Ruby gleams like a pristinely produced jewel in comparison to Gray's aptly named 2016 LP Stripped, which consisted of raw, overdub free takes for the singer and a small band ... Even though her days of radio dominance are well behind her, she sounds bolder and more creative than ever on this new LP".

"Though, now in her forties, she seems to have reached an accommodation with life, love and show business. Of Ruby, her latest album, she says simply: "I hope it makes people happy." It certainly should. Gray's rasping, soulful voice gets to grips with 12 songs of the present day that reveal a growing maturity".

"Med dette album har hun [Macy Gray] begået en sød og sjov kabaretpoppet perle, der ikke gør det store nummer ud af hjertesorger ... I stedet synger hun veloplagt om alt fra sugar daddys til Donald Trump. 'Ruby' er et muntert album, men man savner lidt af hendes flair for smertens lækkerhed, som kun lige strejfes på 'When it end's', hvor hun til gengæld lyder som Tina Turner ... 'Ruby' er en dejlig genforening med hendes hæse røst".
