Reviews"...one of America's most respected singer-songwriters rents an orchestra and tries her hand at some standards....It's tough to argue with the spirit of the set, a song cycle tracing the arc of love gone wrong..." - Rating: B, 4 stars out of 5 - "...Mitchell moves gracefully through 12 standards....the songs are perfectly executed....singing with thought-provoking resonance.", 6 out of 10 - "...reeks of bohemian opulence....The arrangements are fluent reconstructions of a bygone sound and under such heavy manners Mitchell sings like a singer for the first time in her career....Nice enough...", "...Vocals wreathed in grey-blue cigarette smoke, she follows the arc of a love affair in 12 exquisitely sequenced episodes....in her maturity those old songs of hers...are closer than ever to the terrain that great performers occupy.", 3 stars out of 5 - "...She sings atop a velvety orchestra, sounding buoyant one minute and betrayed the next....she's telling these stories with a repertoire of gingerly placed inflections and anguished sighs, tools she's always had but never flaunted.", "...Somber, soulful readings of 12 romantic standards....retaining much of her lonely storyteller's charm, keeping her...readings honest and heartfelt while the myriad instruments swoon behind her..."

  • Beautiful

    It’s worth buying just for ‘a case of you’ and ‘both sides now’. If, like me, these are part of the soundtrack of your long gone youth, you’ll love the melancholic, wistful rendition by a much older, wiser, deeper-voiced Joni.

  • A Late Night Listen

    What I would call a late night listening album of Songs Most at a slow tempo Jonis voice has that husky sound to it which suits these chosen Songs Both Sides Now works well in this Vein ,

  • Be you 19 or 90, into Rachmaninov or Rap, you WILL love and appreciate this work.

    Truly a seminal album, if it isn't in the top 100 greatest albums of all time, then it should be! Like fine wine, it improves every time I listen to it, the voice and the tunes perfectly chosen and executed.
