Wildflower
Wildflower is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, first released September 27, 2005. Although the album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, it received mixed reviews and was not as commercially successful as previous albums, having also peaked at #25 on the UK Album Chart (where all her previous studio albums had been Top 10 successes). -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Slant Magazine
Crow remains a strong writer and singer, to the extent that Wildflower earns more than just a passing recommendation.
-
Paste Magazine
Crow might not be breaking musical ground, but good is good, and Wildflower’s sure to grow on you.
-
PopMatters
Previously underrated, Sheryl Crow returns with a record not worth defending.
-
BBC Music
More easy listening than rock, Wildflower sees a more settled Crow exploring love.
-
Prefix Mag
Throughout the album, Crow’s vocal melodies are her most ambitious and memorable to date.
-
Music OMH
While Wallflower may not restore her to the high profile she enjoyed a few years ago, it’s still a timely reminder that she’s one of America’s more talented songwriters working today.

All Music
That sustained warm, burnished, relaxed feel -- at once rootsy and upscale, modest and classy -- is reason enough to return to Wildflower to give the songs a chance to take root, and once they do, the album seems to be one of her most consistent records and one of her best.

The Guardian
It's all too dull to make anyone care but Crow.
-
Rolling Stone
The singer beat cancer, heartache and Karl Rove to make her most powerful album.
-
Today
Sheryl Crow’s latest is just plain boring.
-
RTE
'Wildflower' sees Sheryl Crow softening her edge and turning the spotlight more on herself. It's a good move, and should see her adding to the legions of fans she already has.

NOW Toronto
Was there a record playing? Oh right. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. Didn't really notice it. Bad.

Paul Ridenour
I bought this the day it came out and have been listening to it everyday. Lance Armstrong has been good to Sheryl Crow because I think this may be her best, even better than "The Globe Sessions."

The Audio D.B.
Overall, it's more dinner party than dance floor. Excellent if you're entertaining and don't want the music to overpower the conversations. Not so great if you're looking to get the party started.
