I felt quite let down by Gardot's My One And Only Thrill compared to her superlative Worrisome Heart album. I felt like there wasn't enough standout tracks like Cry Me Like A River Does from that album. She still has a gorgeous voice though and is a step above the usual banal coffee house crap you hear piped through in said places.

Welcome To Jamrock is a fantastic gateway album for those new to Reggae definitely, with it's mish mash of RnB and Dancehall tracks and the title track is really really good but taken as a bona fide Reggae album it fails to deliver for me personally and for the same reasons why it would appeal to new listeners. I hate Rnb with a passion and there is far too much filler on the album for me.
