    Jessie’s at her best when she’s having fun. She just doesn’t have enough of it here.

  • Boston Globe

    This might finally break Jessie J stateside, but by trying to be all things to all people, the soul is drained out of it.

  • ALL MUSIC

    While Sweet Talker's lack of a clear artistic voice makes it wildly uneven, it just might be loud enough to regain American listeners' attention.

    Unfortunately, after that impressive opening salvo, the album largely relapses on tired MOR pop.

  • Drowned in Sound

    There's barely a narrative other than posturing. It's not really an album, more a relentless ad campaign.

    This is one pop star who is far from being down and out on her third studio record.

    is an uncomplicated statement of intent from a singer who once told me: ‘I’m not the best vocalist around, but I believe in myself and I want to be up there with Katy Perry.’

    In the search for her enigmatic masterpiece she should probably take her own advice: nobody’s perfect.

  • The Leaux Down

    Jessie J holds her own on “Sweet Talker”, providing enough spark, sass and talent to go against the who’s who of contemporary music today.

    A comeback of sorts for the British belter, but it's not Jess at her best.

  • Pardon my Audacity

    It’s getting a good rating from me because she proves to the masses that she can BLOW, but her label BLEW it. **** out of 5 (admittedly it’s a ***) I just couldn’t do that to an artist that has so much talent.
