Aided by airy but sparkling production by Patrick Leonard, Jewel comforts one and all with this collection. On "Hands," she sings that if she could tell the world just one thing, "It would be that we're all OK." Outside of her multi-octave, crystalline voice, therein lies a large part of Jewel's true appeal--a seemingly boundless compassion. To the Beatles prescription "All You Need Is Love," she adds one more ingredient: "Fill your lives with love and bravery/And you shall lead a life uncommon." While much of her yearning is spiritual and utopian, Jewel is not immune to the call of the flesh. In "Do You" she wants to stay with a lover because their teeth are straight and "the sex is good."
It's not all about words however. There's a hip-hop touch in the rhythm section on "Down So Long," confirmed in the third verse when Jewel raps for about two bars. The natural sounds throughout the CD dominate the subtler synth touches. Acoustic guitar, tasteful wah-wah and spot-on harmonies make this an extremely intimate, personal sounding release.

Editorial Reviews
3 (out of 5) - ...Jewel's sincere sentiment has its attractions in a time of irony overload; she plays John Denver to Dylanesque tricksters like Courtney Love and Beck...
Rolling Stone (12/10/1998)

      My Favorite Jewel CD
    Review created: 09/06/06

    I've been a long time fan of Jewel, and this is by far my favorite of her CDs. This one kind of got "lost" in the middle, but don't underestimate it. The songs are powerful yet pleasant. I can listen to this CD over and over again. Great for listening at home, or in the car! Totally recommended!

      Jewel - Spirit

    Not my favorite album by Jewel but how can you not be entranced by her beautiful voice? Still, I found the lyrics somehow lacking and nearly redundant.
