"She has a beautiful voice that can handle any style of music. She is a talented singer as well as song writer.Her voice is very crisp and clear with an enormous range.I've followed her since her early debut on CMT.All though I enjoyed the whole CD. I was disappointed That Angel Eyes was on there twice.I wished there been a few more songs on it also.I loved Circle of Love and If Only. Circle of Life has a catchy tune that I can't seem to get out of my head.Didn't We Love from Coyote Ugly along with Cry like Memphis are probably my next favorites.The CD is a great mix of Country and Soft Rock. I truly believe there isn't a bad song on the whole CD. I hope we see and hear lots more from her."
4 stars for Tamara and 3 stars for the producers!

"Having been a fan of Tamara's since COYOTE UGLY and ANGEL EYES, I was waiting patiently for this album....now that it is here...it is both good and bad. Her voice soars with a haunting sweetness and she can deliver any song with excellent power! I am dissapointed that there are only 8 songs on the album with one remix of ANGEL EYES as the 9th track....a full length album generally has at least 10 tracks.....it is sad the producers chose to short change people on the world of Tamara Walker! One good side is that it is not the price of regularly priced cd's because of this.....the album has pop ballads and upbeat numbers with the country sounding tracks being DIDN'T WE LOVE (original version appears in COYOTE UGLY while this version has more of a beat to it......), THE STELLAR...CRY LIKE MEMPHIS (THE BEST TRACK IN MY OPINION), FALLING FOR ME, THE ONE......overall a great album from a promising talent."

"DESCRIPTION: A mix of rock-pop, electronic pop & country rock. Bordering the thresholds of easy listening because of the smooth contained vocal approach. The album tapered from the early atmospheric sounds of ANGEL EYES. Into the light sounds of the orchestration and piano of BRING BACK MY HEART. When the third track revealed itself as a rock oriented pop number called CIRCLE OF LOVE, I knew this would be a line-up that didn't quite have a primary focus other than a gentle somewhat luring sound. By the end of the album you began hearing signs of country in the music, lyrics & Tamara's vocal style. All these changes throughout didn't hinder a relative consistency not only of it's gentle tones but a respectable quality in melodic perseverance. Two songs that stood out were BRING BACK MY HEART & IF ONLY which displayed a recording technique that should be used more often in female pop & country vocals. The vocal verses were up close and personal while the chorus displayed a higher octave but was set further in the mix as not to dominate the overall sound of the song. The only real weakness I thought was the last track which was a remix of ANGEL EYES. The remix was with a faster tempo but didn't have the atmosphere the original track had. The 9 track E.P like release was a bit surprising to me because of the fact that it did have some quality and because I usually find it in the country section. I don't know that country is the dominating trait in this production. POINTS: ( 2.83 ) - GRADE ( B )"
