Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of Sound
This album isn't a total success but it is different and quite bold in comparison to her earlier work, much of which is totally lovely but which can drift off into easy listening.

The Guardian
Norah Jones switches from mellow to angst-ridden on her fourth album, with spectacular results.

The Fall seems a carefully plotted attempt to confront this reputation for cosiness.

With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter.

The release of her latest album, The Fall— with its moody atmospherics, yearning lyrics, and glossy production—establishes Jones as a bona fide pop artist.

Uncut (UK)
The Fall completes the sense of a woman sloughing off a skin to embrace a bolder, more individual path.

Billboard
Norah Jones' fourth album, "The Fall," may surprise some of her die-hard fans, or at least disarm them a bit.
-
RTE (IE)
'The Fall' proves the theory that out of the bad can come the good, or in this case the great - it's the best album Jones has made.
-
SPIN
The Fall has been billed as Norah Jones’ rock album. In fact, it’s something even more surprising: a hot-blooded soul record from the queen of the even keel.
