Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The restive jazz star, who went on to work with Jack White, Danger Mouse, and others after her multi platinum debut, returns with a no-frills record that fades into the background without much fuss.
-
NPR
-the new album from Norah Jones is more subtle than some of her recent releases and that's a good thing.
-
Entertainment Weekly
She still operates on slow-burn, singing intimately while hushing the volume and measuring the pace.
-
New York Times
Norah Jones returns to her jazz roots.
-
Consequence of Sound
The record retains some of the boundary-pushing and the jazz doesn’t always thrill, but it’s a record on which Jones sounds entirely familiar.
-
All Music
Jones' originals feel as elegant as time-honored standards, and all her covers feel fresh.
-
Cryptic Rock
Day Breaks is smooth, dark, and sophisticated, a tradition for Norah Jones. Jones continues to work each track in a different way that continues to stay true to her style and sound, but this album also sees her keep to more piano-driven compositions.

Pop Matters
Norah Jones finally returns to fish from the same well that made her debut so excellent, and regains some of the magic she lost within the past decade.
-
Soul Tracks
Day Breaks marks a return to Jones’s jazz roots, but she is not in the same place, as an artist and a person, and growth is reflected on this project and is a payoff in itself.

- a work that feels closer in spirit to her 2002 debut Come Away With Me than anything she’s done, albeit with the confidence that age, motherhood and nine Grammy awards brings.
