- Her best album yet.
I'm a big fan of Madeleine and have lover her past albums, but this one is my favorite. She has a soothing, controlled voice-no screeching just to prove she can hit a high note. Currently her, Nora Jones, and Brandi Carlile are my favorite female singers. My only complaint is that I wish she would release albums more often and with more original songs!

- A little disappointing
After waiting in eager anticipation for this new album, I felt somewhat deflated after listening to it. Don't misunderstand, it's not a bad collection per se; MP's voice is strong and clear, the production is fine, but the overall selection of material is just not nearly as good as her last album "Careless Love."
Rating: - Didn't have to wait 8 years, Yew!!!
What a nice way to start a CD with "I'm All Right" should have been the title track, maybe it says a lot about Madeliene at this stage in her career, I 'm assuming since it didn't take her another 8 years to follow up her last CD. And we should all be thankful for that. And she did look very all right at 4th & B, very relax, playful and looking a little plump compared to last year at the Greek Theatre. Sorry to digress (she looked beautiful and sounded beautiful by the way). The four piece of music that she co wrote have the most insightful and intelligently written lyrics sung with ease and depth. Then ofcourse there's Madeliene's interpretation of well known and well love classics, from "Smile" to Tom Waite's "the heart of Saturday night." She is never flippant or never takes these songs for granted rather she sings it well and breathes a new prespective into these songs. I am so happy that she has produced a CD this year and I know she makes a lot of other people glad, happy and enthusiastic about listening to music judging by Saturday's concert.
Rating: - Half the Perfect CD
Let me start out by saying that I'm a big fan. Careless Love was one of the finest albums to be released in quite some time, and one of the most memorable. I was truly impressed, giving as evidence the fact that I probably listened to it twenty times in the first week of owning it. I soon sought out Dreamland and enjoyed it as well, though some of the arrangements were a little too creative and ambitious. Which brings me to Half the Perfect World. I totally agree with Olukayode Balogun's assessment - perfectly put. I'll only add that one gets the sense that Ms. Peyroux's comfort level with the material this time around was anything but. There are times when she shines, as on the wonderfully crafted Once in A While, but overall, she sounds unsure of herself and what she's trying to achieve. Let's hope Ms. Peyroux finds her center again on the next effort and returns to what she does best. Kudos, however, to the flawless arrangements and production of Mr. Kein and company.
Rating: - Exquisite music
Her music on this album is soothing, melancholic and mesmerizing. All of the tracks are wonderful. If you like Billy Holliday or Astrud Gilberto (for example),you will like this. She has her own unique sound. My money was well spent!
