Cons: a little sleepy
It's a great album! Worth the 9.95 at Target and Best Buy! Her second effort, however, lacks the peaks that made Come Away With Me so memorable for me. The whole cd is very mellow which isn't a bad thing . . . I just could use a little upper once in a while. Musically great her voice is great. It just seems to be missing something. Still for anyone who enjoyed #1 will still love #2

Pro Reviews: Feels Like Home
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It may be far too obvious to even mention that Norah Jones' follow up to her 18 million unit selling, eightGrammy winning, genrebending supersmash album Come Away With Me has perhaps a bit too much to live up to. But that's probably the biggest conundrum for Jones: having to follow up the phenomenal success of an album that was never designed to be so hugely popular in the first place. Come Away With Me was a little album by an unknown pianist/vocalist that attempted to mix jazz, country and folk in an acoustic setting who knew? Feels Like Home could be seen as "Come Away With Me Again" if not for that fact that it's actually better. Smartly following the template forged by Jones and producer Arif Mardin, there is the intimate single "Sunrise", some reworked cover tunes, some interesting originals and one ostensible jazz standard. These are all good things, for also like its predecessor, Feels Like Home is a soft and amiable album that frames Jones' "softfocus Aretha Franklin" voice with a group of songs that are as classy as they are quiet. Granted, not unlike the dippy, albeit catchy hit "Don't Know Why", they often portend deep thoughts, but come off in the end more like heartfelt daydreams. Of course, Jones could sing the phone book and make it sound deep, and that's what's going to keep listeners coming back. What's surprising here is the bluesy, more jaunty songs that really dig into the country stylings only hinted at on Come Away With Me. To these ends, the infectious shuffle of "What Am I To Do" finds Jones truly coming into her own as a blues singer as well as a writer. Her voice has developed a spinetingling breathy scratch that pulls on your ear as she rises to the chorus. Similarly, Toes and "Carnival Town" cowritten by bassist Lee Alexander and Jones are pure '70s singer/songwriting that call to mind a mix of Ricki Lee Jones and K.D. Lang. Throw in covers of Tom Waits and Townes Van Zandt along with Duke Ellington's "Melancholia" retitled here "Don't Miss You At All" and featuring lyrics by Jones and you've got an album so blessed with superb songwriting that Jones's vocals almost push the line into too much of a good thing. Thankfully, there is also a rawness and organic soulfulness in the production that's refreshing. No digital pitchcorrection was employed in the studio and you can sometimes catch Jones hitting an endearingly sour note. She also seems to be making good on her stated desire to remain a part of a band. Most all of her sideman, who've worked with the likes of Tom Waits and Cassandra Wilson, get writing credits. It's a "beauty and the beast" style partnership that harkens back to the best Brill Buildingstyle intentions and makes for a quietly experimental and wellbalanced album. - Matt Collar, All Music Guide |

Pros: Great Selection of Songs
Cons: No New Ground Covered Here
If you are looking for Norah to expand on "Come Away With Me" you will be disappointed with this effort. Her voice and tone are flawless, and she delivers each song to perfection. The first release from the CD, "Sunrise" sounds as if it were taken from CAWM.
Jones, along with her back-up singer, Daru Oda paints each song clearly with feeling. After listening to the CD a few times, the songs will stick in your head as you hum them thoughout the day. I do not believe that this will garner the accolades that CAWM did, but if you enjoy Norah Jones you'll love this. ...
