As expressive and hip as the numbers are, they'd be nothing without her dexterity. She plays things smartly, too, and resists the urge to overdo it. Instead, Stone frequently settles into a groove and rides it out through the song's duration." He also added, "At just 24, there's an awful lot to come from this incredible talent and ''The Best of Joss Stone: 2003–2009'' is just the beginning." AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated, "If this doesn't dig deep, it nevertheless hits all the highlights () drawing a picture of the decade when Stone was always on the cusp of stardom yet never quite truly there. As introductions go, it's a solid one, capturing her potential and promise, alternating between singles frustrating and fun." In a mixed review, Victor Valdivia of PopMatters noted that the album has "all of the songs she's most known for assembled in a package that's meant to cement her status as a major artist. What the collection actually does, however, is underline the contradictions that have always made Stone's work so difficult to embrace. Stone has a fine voice but she doesn't seem to actually live or feel her songs. She just sings them with uncanny technical precision." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Best of Joss Stone 2003–2009」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
