Dec 6, 2010This album is one of the best album I've ever heard. Best classy production, promising vocals, and honest lyrics brings the best of Amy and the album. No boring songs and every song is a need to hear.

Nov 22, 2011R.I.P Amy Winehouse. She's one of my favorite artist and I will miss her. She is my favorite live performer. I love her unique, soulful soul. In this album, she sings about love and drugs. The album won 5 Grammys in 2008. Back to Black is one of my favorite album of all time. Miss you Amy.

Feb 18, 2015It's like Prefix Magazine said... Back to Black stands in testament to the fact that talent and originality still exist. Amy was an amazing singer and songwriter and this album is the prove of the pretty soul that Amy has to give to all listeners.

LJJ.Jun 5, 2007Overhyped, overrated. I really dislike her voice, and I love R&B. Seems ppl are so desperate to hear something other than the slick dance R&B; that this is getting better reviews than it deserves on its own merit. I'd have forgotten all about this, if I didn't keep seeing the hype in so many places.

OthoS.Aug 18, 2007Blah, blah, blah. I am so sick of bad girls promoting their badness. Get your ass inro the rehab that you disdain so that you can have a career, you little cunt.

DuaneJ.Mar 15, 2008A Grammy??? I know people go for the bad boy image but the but girl? Fell asleep through most of the songs.

ECJul 3, 2008I know this is new and exciting for a lot of people, but am I the only one who has heard this done before, and done better? It's not an awful album. It just didn't strike me as unique or fresh, which is what so many have hailed it as. I was kind of bored, to be honest.

TomYMar 13, 2007rich drunken british brat attempts to complain about being depressed and recreate soul in an era where there is none.

AnthonyBJun 14, 2007Nice eye candy but there's nothing new here. Imagine a drunk, british Fergie with worse beats. Come 2008 we'll be seeing Amy Winehouse in the 'One Hit Wonder' bin along with Rico Suave and The Vengaboys.

MarkDOct 21, 2007Go to rehab. Don't go to rehab. I don't give one. I just wish i could go a day without hearing your whiney voice on the radio or your stupid horsey face in the papers, ya big weirdo!!!

BlakeLMay 16, 2007The most overated album of the year!

BreL.Jun 14, 2007She has a pretty nice voice, but she lacks something. Sure, she's different, but different doesn't equal an automatic "wow that rulz".

BorsApr 6, 2007It is just good soul/jazz/pop british music.

HoneyMar 20, 2007One of the best albums of last year (and this year in the States); Winehouse delivers a soulful punch in the gut, complete with spot-on vocals and plenty of attitude and intelligence.

lilsAug 4, 2007Great, one of the year's bests. Great voice, smart lyrics, which seem hard to sing on the paper, but she pulls it out easily. Very bluesy, very honest, very british, with Rehab as an instant classic. And for all of you who say she's a one hit wonder, she had another great record, Frank, and it's single Stronger than Me won Ivor Novello. I hope we'll be hearing more of her!

jyotirmayadAug 7, 2007Amy Winehouse is such a fresh new talent... she does it all in her own trademark style... she is surely one of the most important artists of 2007, and should win many music awards.

NunoEUJul 2, 2009An amazing album, a masterpiece! One of the best albuns of the century... "Love Is a Losing Game" and "Tears Dry On Their Own" are 5 stars *****!

Entertainment WeeklyIt's precisely Winehouse's lyrics... that raise this expertly crafted set into the realm of true, of-the-minute originality. [16 Mar 2007, p.67]
-
Blender[It] sounds fantastic--partly because the production nails sample-ready '60s soul right down to the drum sound' and partly because Winehouse is one hell of an impressive singer. [Apr 2007, p.121]
