In a lot of ways, it's not a good album - it's extremely underproduced, the lyrics are rather shallow and Jewel clearly isn't comfortable in the studio as her vocal performances are incredibly inconsistent, ranging from beautiful ("Angel Standing By") to sounding almost like a poor Cher impersonator ("Who Will SaAave Your Soul"). Still, aside from that there is plenty of enjoyment to be had - the songwriting is strong with memorable, satisfying melodies and great hooks.
