AMG Review of Take a Look
Ron Wynn
All Music GuideThose who questioned whether Natalie Cole had either the will or skill to succeed with another session of pre-ock popular music need wonder no more. There are another 18 jazz-tinged and early pop numbers, with some unexpected pleasures ("Calypso Blues," "It's Sand Man") and spectacular triumphs ("Cry Me a River," "Fiesta in Blue," "I'm Beginning to See the Light"). Cole is now completely comfortable with the pacing, flow, and sensibility of pre-ock material; she has no problems with articulation or delivery, either.
