 IMPRESSIVE SECOND PROJECT August 25, 2009

Probably the best way to evaluate this CD is to break it down. VOCALS -- What can we say? Her voice is distinctive, soooo smooth, calming, and her singing style enhances the message of each song. PRODUCTION AND ARRANGEMENTS -- sonically clean and nicely textured, although a bit "busy" on some tracks. On some of the more upbeat songs, it was almost like listening to something by the Beach Boys, circa 60's. Most of the songs are acoustic guitar driven, and that's a big plus for me. There's also some piano and one really n-i-c-e horn arrangement. Hopefully, we'll hear more brass backing her in the future. Her greatest strength on this CD is the ballads. On every ballad, she really excels. Plus, even as she sings the songs she's written that deal with heartbreak and longing, she does it in a positive way and graciously avoids using expletives. OVERALL IMPACT -- nice, very listenable, probably the song sequencing could have better spaced the ballads and upbeat songs. If I could, I would give it 4.8 stars and "Coco" 4.9 stars. Almost as stellar as her debut, very close and certainly well worth downloading and/or buying. She's a very promising singer/songwriter and deserves our support!
Colbie Stays True To Herself September 28, 2009

Some complaints that it's not like Coco... that is true. There don't seem to be as many radio-ready numbers, perhaps only one beyond "Fallin'". But, this is a great collection of songs, nonetheless. If you like Colbie, buy this CD. Her sincerity is once again in evidence.
And, if you're going to purchase this CD, get the Deluxe edition - the five additional songs are very, very good; they're not just throwaways.
top CD / #1 in my book October 9, 2009

After seeing a TV interview with live songs from the CD, i had to go and pick one up. Top #1 right off the shelf, at least 6 #1 ones. I even purchased the COCO CD which is less heart felt to me. Still OK. Very smooth and excellent vocals. Her Dad did sound for one of fleetwood macs CD's and is her i think manager? Anyway this a classic, well done.
Colbie doesn't dissappoint October 11, 2009

Colbie Caillat's second CD allowed her to do the unlikely - top her first-time-out CD. If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. The music and lyrics are creatively written, while her sound is unique, her songs are of a great variety. I opted for the extended CD with the five extra tracks, which allowed me to enjoy more of Colbie's talent. She'll be performing in my city later this month - no doubt I'll be there.

I LOVED Coco and this 2nd album does not disappoint. It's definitely worth the extra few dollars to get the Deluxe Version with 5 additional songs!
