"The secret to Emerald's success is easy to identify from the very first notes of her second album. Like her closest comparison Imelda May, Emerald deals comfortably in a retro, nostalgic type of blues-tinged jazzy pop that's been so successful for her contemporaries. Of course, she could be accused of playing it safe (it's true that there are no real surprises to be found here) but there's no denying that she does what she does very well indeed".
