It's hard to call The Globe Sessions a stumble, but its stripped-down, straightforwardness paled in comparison to the dark pop-culture kaleidoscope of Sheryl Crow's eponymous second album. That's why C'mon, C'mon, Crow's long-delayed fourth album, is such a delight -- it's the sunny flip side of that masterpiece, a skillful synthesis of classic rock and modern sensibilities that's pretty irresistible. Crow has turned into the professional she always acted she was -- she not only crafts songs impeccably, she knows how to record them, filling the record with interesting sonic details, whether it's the Steve Miller-styled "woo hoo"s on "Steve McQueen" or subtle Mellotrons on "Over You." That kind of sly sonic adventure was mRolling Stone (4/25/02, p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Heavy on billowy ballads and rife with lazy lyrics...she invites a studioful of illustrious classic rockers and alternative types to add social richness to [the] album..."
Spin (May 2002, pp.118-119) - 7 out of 10 - "...Crow's the great equalizer-- finding the middle of a wide variety of roads is the essence of her art....[imagine] a world where the Dixie Chicks and Stevie Nicks and Emmylou Harris and Dr. Dre's bass player can all ride the same tour bus..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/19/02, pp.70-71) - "...[Crow] is a supreme craftsperson....C'MON C'MON is rooted in old-school Cali pop but somehow manages never to sound fusty or musty..." - Rating: B+
Q (4/02, p.111) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Crow still rocks....A real pro...[with] no sign of a midlife crisis..."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/02, p.98) - "...Crow locates her inner Skynyrd..."
