“One of the most compelling proofs that a great song can be great no matter how it's arranged and delivered. This one takes no back seat to any original, no matter how clearly we might remember it. When the chorus comes around on the guitar, and the backing vocals swell behind her, Carly is at her very, very best.”

“Still with the stones to deliver "fix the toaster" without a wince. Never one of her best, but no less than it ever was when it ran up the charts.”

“This one made her, and it's fascinating to go so far back into her catalog for the update. It's richer and sadder for all that we know sits behind the lyric now. Amazing.”

“A deft vocal touch serves this hit well, as does the jazz keys and sensibility.”

“You know there's no possible way for Carly not to do this one right. No, it doesn't sound like Mick made it onto the backup vocals this time, but the mystery lives on nevertheless. "And one of them was me" still delivers the hook, and "clouds in my coffee" are as they should be. Worth a serious listen for sure.”
