Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "An understated blend of country, folk, jazz and soul....Simple songs, lovingly crafted and sweetly sung.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Jones has reclaimed her music on her own terms, establishing a new level of artistry with a fascinating line in subversion of the politest kind.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Something altogether fresh....Just like that, Jones transforms herself into the gentlest of cutting-edge artists.", "NOT TOO LATE operates from an intimate stance.....Acoustic textures and bone-dry vocals draw the focus to the tune...", "NOT TOO LATE has a slightly, rougher, home-studio sound....With slow, gorgeous dream-pop ballads..." -- Grade: B-, "Jones still favors gentle love songs, tunes streaked with a mix of nostalgia and hope, and her elegant amalgam of acoustic pop, soft focus country and polished blues still goes down like a spoonful of sugar.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "She's quirkier lyrically than any of her helpmates. And she remains pop's nicest superstar..."
Additional InformationNot quite jazz, country, or pop, NOT TOO LATE fuses all of Jones's influences into an immediately identifiable whole.
