Amy Winehouse Back to Black [Deluxe Edition] (2-CD)

3 stars out of 5 -- "Winehouse is a nervy, witty songstress whom indie rockers, pop fans and hip-hoppers can dig."
Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "[W]ith a brassy, intensely personal sorrow that is true blues, not nouveau soul."
"[A] breakthrough, producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson surround her with brass sections, string sections, harp, Wurlitzer, the works."
"It's precisely Winehouse's lyrics...aching, flirty, and often straight-up nasty -- that raise this expertly crafted set into the realm of true, of-the-minute originality." -- Grade: A-
"A gorgeous, aching, defiant mix of contemporary and vintage R&B from an artist at the top of her game..."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Winehouse is one of the best things to have happened to British pop recently."
