Come Away With Me

Beautiful

fine as far as vocals go. dreadfully boring as far as the backing tracks are concerned

Loved

yo i actually wanted to like this but goddamn it's too boring, everyone's talent is great but yeah not my thing

I do love Norah's voice, and there are some amazingly beautiful tracks on here. I just can't break the feeling though that I'm at a wedding when I hear her haha. Not a bad album, but not something I need to listen to on the regular.

this is my mood for 2025

My initial reaction was bad to getting this. It was synonymous with radio 2 middle class dinner party music for people who didnt like music but i endeavoured to give it s fair hearing. She has a nice smooth voice, and there are some nice bluesy, jazzy touches to it. I didn't find it offensive, but there really isnt much to het excited about either. It really is an exercise in audio beige.

Lovely stuff

Very pleasant, lovely voice

Beautiful album. Norah's vocals range from delicate to raw.

Lovely voice

Album 658 of 1001 Norah Jones - Come Away With Me (2002) Rating : 4 / 5 Great debut album. Very relaxed vibe. A bit of a mix of jazz, pop, and country. Awesome piano skills and voice. Can't get much more "easy listening" than this.

Yes, this album has a bit of Hallmark flavor to it...but the musicianship and production are top of the line. And that's just my kind of music. Playlist adds - Cold Cold Heart, Feelin' The Same Way, One Flight Down, Nightingale

It’s fine.

Had never checked them out even though I was familiar with the name. Nice and chill. Will check out more. I’d did give Christmas music in a department store vibes though.

Norah has a nice voice, it's a pleasant listen. Otherwise I find this genre of radio 2 friendly singer songwriter hard to be enthusiastic about, doesn't excite me at all. A song or two of this level on an album with some angry or genuinely sad moments is great but this feels designed to be background music, nothing too distracting. It is still nice and does have it's place but I'm not really a fan. 2.5.

Really boring coffee shop music. Really uninspired writing too. Some songs are fine, sweet perhaps, but really mild. Bored silly.

Really nice voice and all very pleasant, but found myself pretty bored of it quite quickly. All the public reviews are correct, it's something you'd have on in a cafe, which is fine, but not something I'm ever going to choose to listen to 2.5

Nora Jones comes from a musical background, after all her dad was Ravi Shankar! But she started out like any other, playing Mon nights at the Metropolitan cafè on 1st Ave btw 52 and 53rd - I lived upstairs - NOT ONCE did I see her, in all the times that I went there, damn!! Gorgeous not from this time voice, soothing, creamy dreamy velvety. She was a breath of fresh air whoooosh right into this genre. Great listen for a cloudy cold Sunday while you read the 480 sections of the NYTimes

Don't Know Why reminds me of sitting on my parents porch in West Texas sipping wine and watching the sun retreat. It's family. Warm. Comforting. She can really take you to another world. An incredible voice...like a bedtime story.

There is not a single thing wrong with this album. Not a missed note or clunky line. Production is top class with some impeccable flourishes. Musicianship abounds. But I can't escape the face that the main emotion I feel is the overwhelming desire to have a dinner party. That being said- quite a voice exquisitely captured. A solid 3+

Norah Jones is the kinda artist where im never gonna be mad listening to her, it’s nice enough music and feels nostalgic. But im never really gonna reach for her.

kind of a snoozefest, even if the musicianship is good.

Not bad

Norah I love you

Wonderful voice. Album is a little dull otherwise.

• 4/5 • Lovely blend of jazz, country, folk, and pop delivered with a torch singer aesthetic

Spent most of the listening time worried that Spotify would now begin to suggest similar albums to me. Some nice double bass here and there though.

Good voice over good instrumentals, what's not to like

Laid back..and awesome

I survived the singer-songwriter deluge of the 2002s, and this album took me back. norah jones has a beautiful voice, but I found myself wishing I was listening to fiona apple, joni mitchell, chet baker, rufus wainwright, pretty much anything similar but so much weightier and with personality!

Oh I know this one, it sounds like home, my mom’s favorite singer and artist ♥️

Y2K nostalgia blast of listening to Sunday morning radio. Sweet and soulful vocals from Ms. Jones accompanied by quality musicianship.

It is kind of nice but also kind of boring.

Background music, repetitive songs and not very unique.

Good album. I don't have the energy for proper prose right now so this should be a placeholder for future edits. Fav tracks: Lonestar 4/5

Lovely album, great musical content

Took a second listen but actually quite enjoyed this one.

It's a very sweet-sounding album. Easily palatable. Nothing jumping out as extreme or risky. You could easily have this one on in the background for pretty much anything casual. Guests over? Check. Working in the office? Check. TJ Maxx? Check. Norah's voice is beautiful from front to back on this one and accompanies the instruments perfectly. I think it would just be dishonest to not admit that this is a good album, despite it not being edgy or progressive. I can see why she won multiple grammy's from this.

She good. But meh.

Coffee house Jazz may be near the bottom of my genre preferences, and this is the epitome of that genre. Can't explain why. I was very excited to learn shes Ravi Shankar kid, not sure how I'm just learning that now.

One of the best things about playing music with your friends is picking up on each others musical tendencies and preferences, even ones they aren't aware of themselves, so that, over time, your sensibilities sort of meld together. As Palantoni (sunshine and silliness) and Sean or anyone else whose ever played in a band with me knows, I've never heard a twinkly, jangly bluesy piano line I didn't like and then immediately demand to hear more of. So while this album is, as most of us have pointed out, pretty sanitized, a little repetitive and boring - there's something about the way Norah plays piano that speaks to something deep within me. Don't ask me why. You might say, I don't know why.

The perfect album to have in the background to chill out or cook to. I spun it a few times to get more acquainted with the tracks because Norah Jones is new to me and is critically acclaimed (especially for this album). Favorites: If I were A Painter, Seven Years, Nightingale I didn’t dislike any tracks, but some weren’t as unique as others. I loved Norahs country like vocals (raspy and twangy). 4.5 stars, rounding up

A real coffeehouse vibe of an album. She’s got a zone and she stays in it the entire album, for better or worse. It’s inoffensive and she has a nice raspy voice but it’s pretty one dimensional. Feels like taking painkillers

The absolute pinnacle of coffee shop jazz pop, in the best way. First half of the album is much stronger. Such a beautiful voice and cool compositions. And a Shankar! Was close to giving this a three but it’s just too nice of an album. Venti iced latte with extra foam please. Plug for another more contemporary album in this mellow acoustic wheelhouse: Joan Shelly - Like the River Loves the Sea.

Timeless. Great album for a Sunday morning lie in. Mellow easy listening jazzy piano songs.

Feels too much like easy listening lounge music for my taste (which I guess is kinda her background). Similar to the lyrics -- felt very generically lounge-y. Her voice is beautiful though

Chill

C'est doux

Such a well-imagined and beautifully executed collection of songs that pulls you into a world better than the one you live in.

Beautiful voice, some great songs, and nice piano work, but nothing Id search out

I don't even know what to say about this. I get the idea, I get the purpose, she has a wonderful voice and the sound is easy on the ears, but as a whole it amounts to... not much. The amount of copycats this album has spawned also may have taken a toll on me through the years... It's inoffensive, forgettable, songs are hard to differentiate. It's supposed to be relaxing, but it only wears me out. It's just not for me and I don't get why this might be a "must listen", it did sell quite well so there's that I guess. Nightingale is a chill song if I must choose one. 1.8/5 Edit: this thing actually haunts me, I remember it every so often and get angry, if that’s not a one I don’t know what is… 1/5

Boring to me except Don't know why

Really solid jazz-esque pop album. Favourite tracks: "Painter Song", "The Nearness of You"

it’s so… 2002

i dont like it too slow

This album felt like a warm hig.

Love Norah jones

It was calming and a nice listen overall 3.5 stars close to 4.

3/5

lovely, but very samey and unchallenging and doesn't have a lot to offer besides the quality of the vocals. "don't know why" has been stuck in my craw for the past 2 decades, but the title track is the album's best offering. 2.5/5

This one was a struggle to get through. It’s the kind of music that feels like it’s tailor-made for playing softly in the background at a dentist’s office during a root canal.

What a voice. Really dig this.

Yawn. Lovely but a bit dull

okay

Cool and soothing.

Buen disco, de enorme éxito de ventas, con una voz y elegancia, canciones disfrutables pero que deja escaso poso después para un estilo que habían transitado Diana Krall antes o Dayna Kurtz mejor. Don´t know why es todo un clásico. Cold Cold heart una excelente versión, y el resto del disco sigue la estela de temas disfrutables que componen un álbum para escuchar mientras se hace otras cosas. Mejores discos ese 2002, que tampoco fue un año para tirar cohetes: Beck - Sea Change, Sigur Rós - ( ), Neko Case - Blacklisted, The Streets - Original Pirate Material, Boards of Canada - Geogaddi, Spoon - Kill The Moonlight, The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights, Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, David Bowie – Heathen, múm – Finally we are no one, Tom Waits: Alice / Blood Money, Queens Of The Stone Age: Songs For The Deaf, American IV: The Man Comes Around de Johnny Cash... También: Low: Trust, The Delgados: Hate, The Coral- The Coral, Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man: Out Of Season, Solomon Burke: Don’t Give Up On Me, Lambchop: Is A Woman,, Coldplay- A rush of blood to the head, Doves- Last Broadcast, Faultline: Your Love Means Everything, Death In Vegas: Scorpio Rising, Roddy Frame: Surf, Pet Shop Boys- Release, red Hot Chili Peppers- By the way, Neil Young- Are You Passionate?,

Beautiful

This album was super pleasant, definitely a more interesting genre fusion than I expected.

Fantastic classic album.

Misschien wel de zachtste stem in de muziekwereld. Come Away With Me is het album bij uitstek die ik uitkies voor een gezellig streepje muziek bij het eten. 4.1

Beautiful album. Her voice is like an instrument in its own right. And recorded so well. An old fashioned, listen to it all the way through type of album. Perfection.

Siri, please choose me the musical definition of the word 'vanilla'. Of course, her voice is gorgeous and she doesn't feel the need to push it or shove it in your face but this album can fade so effortlessly into the background, even on repeat listens on headphones, that it may as well just stay there.

Chill jazz inspired pop

This album was so so so good. It was amazing. I loved it so much and now I want to listen to more of Norah Jones's stuff. This is not an album I would listen to on my own normally and now I am so happy I checked it out. Loved it so much. The instrumentation, her voice, the writing, the lyrics...all great. A few songs felt redundant but otherwise near perfect. Actual rating...a 4.5. Liked Songs: "Don't Know Why" , "Seven Years" , Feelin' The Same Way" , "Shoot The Moon" , "I've Got To See You Again" , "One Flight Down" , "Nightingale" , "The Long Day Is Over"

liked song: I've Got To See You Again It's good. A little slow, but I do like the chill bluesy vibes. Norah is very talented. 3

Obvi really good and beautiful voice and all but like so effing boring to me i can not

Not for me. Yawn.

Beautiful voice and more tolerable as jazz goes.

Vibey. Almost a jam band at points. A few really poignant songs

iconic voice with a brilliant debut

I think my impression of Norah has been unfair. I can only picture gen-x women living peaceful lives when I think of this album, and really... that doesn't change, but it really is a pleasant record. Completely inoffensive but not devoid of interesting ideas. The major knock being that it starts with it's strongest single and tends to drag on without much else to note beyond it. 2.5/5

Very mellow, but interesting for an easy-listening piece. Reminds me of the Wicklow Mountains and my father, who loves this album. Recorded in NYC by an Indian-American!

This album really is the most sugary type of cafee jazz you can get, with some smooth butter on top. Marvin Gaye probably is the most stereotypical "love song" artist, but this album might just claim the title as the ultimate love album. At least that's the feeling I get when listening to it. Overall I think this is a great album. 'Come Away With Me' has been played loads of times, but it still is a great song. My favourite song of the album probably is 'Shoot The Moon' though, such a nice song. Got a touch of melancholy to it that hits different. I only knew 'Come Away With Me' when starting out, but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this whole album. It gets a bit samey at times, but all songs are just very good. I think it deserves a strong 4!

I sighed when I saw this album on the list, remembering when new Jazz pop was all the rage. Reading things like "WhY DoN't ThEy MaKe ReAl MuSiC LiKe ThIs AnYmOrE". This, Melody Gardot and the likes where really the bees knees for a while. Listening to it now, it is actually quite good. Maybe I've just gotten old and boring. "Don't know why" is a chill and good song. Otherwise I found "Come away with me" still a bit annoying, maybe teenage me is still hates it enough to filter through. There are good songs here and there but I wish for more variety. "I've Got to See you Again" is different from the rest and it is really good. I also wish there was more blues and edginess to the rest of the songs. This really shines through if you listen to the bonus CD (not taken in to account in the review) where her cover of "Hallelujah, I Love Him So" is really good. The whole bonus CD is good, leaning more to jazz with an unpolished, raw mixing, with session recordings and demos. The unpolishedness really elevates it, so does the solos. A very strong 3, probably a weak 4 but I would betray my old self. I think you should listen to the bonus CD and some of the singles. Honestly, this is one of the times where polish makes it worse.

Nice voice but dull as fuck. Nice nostalgia trip to the early 2000's - I think my girlfriend at the time was a big fan....

Lovely way to start the day

This one was a struggle to get through. It’s the kind of music that feels like it’s tailor-made for playing softly in the background at a dentist’s office during a root canal. It’s like elevator music—except not as good!

Fine. Kind of boring but whatever. Idc.

Nice jazzy vibes 3.5

Nice but not for me

This is one of those albums which has a reputation as the musical equivalent of coffee table books; everyone had a copy in the early '00s and it was mostly played low, as background music, at a wine and cheese party... Come Away With Me is actually much better than that. Norah Jones's smoky voice and deceptively simple piano playing are sublime; some of her chord voicings are stunningly good. The backing musicians are excellent, the light jazz/country ballads uniformly good. Don't Know Why is a torch song that can stand with the best of the American Songbook greats.

Mommy loved the most popular song on that album and it comforted me in the morning. Good stuff.

I wanted to like this. Just due to how huge the album was and I want to try and get into jazz. But nothing really grabbed me. It made me want to sleep.

Heavenly perfection.

I’m sure this went crazy at Starbucks in the 2000s. Gangbusters at combination Starbucks-Barnes & Noble.

Beautiful, nostalgic, gets a little goopy at the end. Would still consider it a must-listen. (#43)

Excellent album!

Snoozy but easy to listen. 3.

I probably enjoyed this album more than its worth, but I just had a slipknot album yesterday and this feels like a girl you fall in love with after you just get out of a toxic relationship all because she asked you how your day was.

Beautiful

timeless classic sound, which comes with it never sounding terribly adventurous

One of those “I get it” albums but not really something I’d toss on. I do feel like it deserves its place on the list - first song has had the airwaves in a chokehold for 20 years and there’s no denying the influence even though I never listened to her knowingly before. It all sounds wonderful.

Dont’t Know Why - this album is a must listen This is the music Alexa plays when you ask for Sunday morning music. Norah has an undeniably beautiful voice but all of it sort of melds together, doesn’t go anywhere I find particularly interesting, and generally makes me a bit sleepy. Best - I’ve Got To See You Again Worst - Seven Years I wish I could do half stars

I forgot about her sadly. What a romantic soul. She can sing to me any day.

Good musician and song writer. A little after a few songs. Good music though.

This album will put your ass to sleep

De simon seit immer norah jones isch mega guet aber me chas nöd lng lose, mol luege. Uuh da kennt mer jo, huere schön. Han vergesse dass sie so singt, scho iconic stimm

Very Sunday morning vibes

inte min smak

There's something deeply unsatisfying about this record. It feels incomplete, shallow, half-baked. This isn't helped by knowing Norah Jones's star musician status, and that the record is one of the best-selling of all time. All that for an album that's essentially monotonous lo-fi jazz. It gives an illusion of refined complexity by combining various elements of jazz/soul bar tunes, including soft (and very simple) percussion, back-mixed guitar strums, some scattered soul-blues piano notes, unremarkable basslines, and various toots from wind/brass instruments. The piano is definitely supposed to be the central focus of the non-vocal instruments, but as a piano player, I can say that the primarily octave-based playing isn't that interesting or complex. And there's no central exciting element to tie the music together The product is something that "feels" like it should sound good, but doesn't. Jones's vocal is fine but is overshadowed by the occasional backing vocalists, which are great. They should've been a bigger part of Jones's musical style. Guitar ballads like Seven Years and Lonestar don't do her any favours. A key problem with the album is the stark lack of riffs – or, for that matter, any memorable moments in any instruments, including the vocals. There are few highs and lows; instead, the listener receives a steady, low buzz of inoffensive low-calibre noise that pushes no boundaries and sounds kind of good, especially if you aren't paying close attention. Maybe I'm being a little harsh. It's true that I'm slightly tanking my rating to counteract some of the 5-star ratings which only seem to laud this album for its historic fame. 2/5 Key tracks: Don't Know Why, Come Away With Me, Turn Me On

Nice voice, but all the songs sounded the same. It just blended into one long coffee shop soundtrack Pleasant sounding though so it gets an alright rating 3 ⭐️

Beautiful voice. The tracks are so simple but each instrument is perfectly placed and mixed. Something about the simplicity of it all and the way her voice comes through makes it such a memorable record

很喜歡歌手的聲音，專輯的第一首「Don't Know Why」特別溫暖抒情，很有冬日坐在火爐前的那種感覺。另一首是「Lonestar」的舒服愜意。

Classic

“Don’t know why”, sanfter Soul mit prägnanter Frauenstimme. Mal sind die Songs besser, mal was schlechter. Die zu starke Jazz Orientierung steht einer überdurchschnittlichen Bewertung entgegen.

Like Songs Don't Know Why

Ravi’s daughter is one talented singer / pianist. Smooth music for a mellow vibe.

Nice. If you're into John Mayer you might like this

Nice background music, a bit same-same after a bit

Det helt gode søndagsalbum, gør ikke en flue fortræd

I still like Don't Know Why. The album as a whole is soft, warm, jazz for a mellow mood. It's perfectly alright.

Norah Jones' debut album was released on Blue Note, and features her elegant, smokey contralto and delicate pianisms backed by some pretty heavy hitters in the jazz scene at the time. half of these songs feature Brian Blade, who might be my favorite drummer on the planet! unfortunately, I think I set myself up for a slight bit of disappointment in that preliminary research process I take with all the albums on this list before pressing play. this is an extremely tranquil set of tracks, suited perfectly for the task of looking longingly out of your bedroom window with a cup of coffee. Jones and her band play very tastefully and unobstrusively; you could take the Terrence Fletcher route and deride this as "Starbucks jazz", but there's absolutely a place for this vibe in jazz. it's just not really what I go out of my way to look for as a jazz listener. I guess I was hoping for a little bit more musical excitement and interplay than what's actually here. it comes through every now and again, but I want much more of it! maybe if I had approached this with a slightly different mentality, I'd be able to appreciate it more for what it is, rather than what I might have wanted it to be. without question, I could definitely say I liked what I heard, but I think if I'm going to return to this, I need to be more prepared to listen to a pop album than a jazz one. decent 6/10.

Hard to get bored of her vocals throughout this album.

En 2002, le monde se remettait à peine du choc des tours jumelles, et la musique ambiante reflétait cette tension. Les radios étaient saturées par le nu-metal braillard de Linkin Park et Limp Bizkit, une musique de colère adolescente pour une époque qui avait peur. La pop, quant à elle, était un carnaval de strings apparents et de chorégraphies millimétrées signé Britney ou NSYNC. C'était une époque de bruit, de fureur, d'excès. Et puis, sans prévenir, une jeune femme de 22 ans, fille d'un certain Ravi Shankar mais ça, on l'apprendrait plus tard, a débarqué avec un disque qui était l'antithèse absolue de tout ce bordel. La voix de Norah Jones est le coeur de l'album. Grave, un peu voilée, incroyablement sensuelle sans jamais être vulgaire. Une voix qui ne crie pas, qui ne cherche pas la performance vocale, qui vous parle à l'oreille, qui vous confie un secret. À une époque où les chanteuses pop confondaient chant et compétition de décibels, Norah Jones a réintroduit une notion oubliée : la nuance. Elle caresse les notes, elle les laisse vivre, avec une justesse et une émotion qui vous désarment. On sent l'héritage des grandes dames du jazz, de Billie Holiday à Nina Simone, mais sans le poids de l'histoire. C'est du jazz pour ceux qui n'aiment pas le jazz, de la folk pour ceux qui trouvent ça chiant, de la pop pour ceux qui trouvent ça con. Et l'écrin est à la hauteur du bijou car l'album est d'une sobriété magnifique. Quelques accords de piano, une contrebasse qui marche sur des oeufs, une guitare acoustique discrète. Les arrangements sont là pour servir la voix et la mélodie, rien d'autre, l'atmosphère est feutrée, intime. C'est un disque de fin de soirée, le compagnon parfait pour un verre de vin quand le monde extérieur est trop agressif. C'est de la musique de chambre pour appartement urbain. Le succès a été un raz-de-marée, mais un raz-de-marée lent et silencieux car le disque s'est vendu par le bouche-à-oreille, devenant l'album que tout le monde achetait, des jeunes branchés aux grands-parents. C'était le disque "consensus" par excellence, celui qui mettait tout le monde d'accord et il a fini par rafler cinq Grammy Awards, propulsant Norah Jones au rang de superstar mondiale, un statut qu'elle n'avait visiblement jamais cherché. Alors pourquoi un 4 sur 5, qui frôle la perfection, et non la note maximale ? Parce que la plus grande qualité de 'Come Away With Me' est aussi sa seule petite limite. C'est un disque qui ne vous fera jamais de mal. Il est si parfait, si doux, si élégant qu'il lui manque peut-être ce petit grain de folie, ce danger qui caractérise les chefs-d'oeuvre absolus qui vous retournent l'âme. C'est de la musique-refuge, un cocon de bien-être. Un disque à réécouter, non pas pour changer le monde, mais pour le rendre supportable pendant 45 minutes.

sophisticated, but absolutely heart-felt. wonderful version of Cold, Cold, Heart

bleh

pretty good, dripping in early 2000’s melancholy, a musical era i don’t want to forget. some of the songs and vocal style got redundant

so fun and pretty, classic.

Perfect in the cold weather!

why is it so damn long??? I like it better than the 1960s, but still not a fan of her voice

Almost too inoffensive. Great music for playing in the background, but not very interesting to listen to actively.

chill but samey snooze

She’s got a good voice and the vibe is there. It does bug me when the majority of songs on an album aren’t written by the recording artist, I just think it depreciates the ‘must listen’ value. So I payed special attention to the ones she wrote… the title track, nightingale and the long day is over. Nightingale is also great! The long day is over is good and the title track is really great! Thought of the other tracks feeling the same way was good. But Yh not much else IMO. It’s not overly for me but not horrible 3/5

Really like her voice, decent

Enjoyable easy listening. Not much stuck in my head after one listen, but I wouldn't mind putting on again a few times

I'm not saying that Norah Jones is personally responsible for the existence of the $5 cup of coffee but this album has a lot to answer for when you think about how many overpriced lattes have been served in countless mediocre cafes while it has been gently lilting in the background. My favorite aspect of this album is the opportunity it gave me to look up the definition of anodyne to ensure I would be using it properly to describe it.

Although I'm not at all surprised to find this album in this collection, but I'll admit it's not at all a favorite of mine. There's nothing wrong with the album, the songs or Norah Jones' style, but every time I've heard this album (and I've heard it a few times, strangely), it just feels like there's nothing there. It seems like she assembled a good group of session musicians, and she clearly has musical talent, but there's little to no affect in her voice, even when she's singing about sadness or regret or even happiness or love. Too bad, since this is the only chance Norah Jones gets in this collection (unlike, say, Amy Winehouse, who was clearly still finding her way on "Frank" but then got into her groove with "Back to Black", and we get to give her a second chance).

Lovely album though Jones ties her voice down to such a limited range it's a little frustrating. Really liked "Feeling the same way..." and "Turn me on" as well as the title track.

S M O O T H Norah Jones does what she does extremely well - airy vocals + great piano playing.

You probably can’t make this genre any better, than Norah Jones does on Come Away With Me. The title track is so hauntingly beautiful that it could carry this entire album alone. Thankfully it doesn’t have to.

Full disclosure, my wife picked the title track as our wedding dance song, so I'm predisposed to have a soft spot here. Ok, now that that's out of the way: she's a good singer with good arrangements and there's nothing here that really blows me away.

One of the best albums of all time. I've listened to it hundreds of times and it got me through so many rough patches in life.

I already have a preconception that I don’t like Norah Jones. Back when she was a thing, I used to hate the singles and thought she was boring as sin. Now being essentially forced to listen to this, I don’t think my opinion has really changed. It’s all vaguely nice and easy listening but nice and easy isn’t always a good thing. Happy to admit I’m wrong, pleased this isn’t one of those times

Easy to listen to. Easy to forget also

i melt into this one. Pure relaxation

Nice album, good for background at a dinner party 6/10

Nahh Im good, like just so fine not listening to this ever again besides maybe in the context of wanting to fall asleep

Bluesy very different voice. Not into it but very talented.

V lovely

I was not expecting to love this album as much as I did, which just shows my ignorance on Norah Jones. Simply fabulous, one of the best things I've discovered in this project. Sultry voice, smooth jazz, simply fantastic

6 out 5. Would listen to this anytime!

Not enough stars to rate this album!

Nothing wrong with it really, just very forgettable soft pop.

Actually good

Es ist nicht schlecht, einfach ein bisschen langweilig.

Somewhere at the center of soft pop, folk, and smooth vocal jazz. She has a tender, soothing voice that’s soft but emotional. The album feels like it should be played late night at a “jazz club” full of middle class middle aged white people or a pseudo-hipster coffee shop (and neither of those are slights). The instrumentalists backing her are talented but subtle and don’t get much room to shine here as Jones’ voice is the primary focal point. The moments they do aren’t tasteful. Not a lot of diversity (sound, pace, tone), so it all starts to blend together and get a bit repetitive. Not a highly memorable or impactful album, but some good songs and a pleasant voice.

One of the greatest stress-relieving albums of all time. Just perfect.

perfectly inoffensive mainstream slightly jazz. Not bad but not essential listening. 2 and a bit.

The very definition of bland.

Great album

It was nothing special, but soothing it was, and it was fine.

Pretty cool!

I understand all the Starbucks references in the reviews, accompanied by 2 star ratings. I also understand all the 5 star ratings. I'm giving her 5 stars for doing something this good at age 22.

vibey

Yawn. No.

So chill. A classic

Hella good. Nice wind down drive album on frida

This album was new to me, and an absolute delight compared to the last one, some Coldplay slog. She's a great singer, I enjoy the instrumentation, and the songs are pleasant in a moody loungy sort of way. None of that really speaks to me, so I can't really see myself seeking out more Norah, but it was certainly inoffensive.

Norah has a great voice, and this is a nice relaxing mellow jazz record. I enjoyed it.

could i write poetry to this? n

I didn't actually listen to this album. Maybe someday, but this was not that day. Instead, I listened to Fugazi's album,"Thirteen Songs." It was excellent. Five stars.

She's got a nice voice, but I don't understand how this is one of the best selling albums of all time.

A bit too easy listening.

You go Norah Jones.

underrated by starbucks haters good album! jazz/pop fusion isnt something very common to me but i liked it as a pop un-enjoyer

The playlist at every wedding in the early 2000s

This was pleasant but too bland. Also not at all what I was in the mood for today, so take the 2 score for what it's worth.

It's strange listening to this on November 6, 2024, the day that orange, deranged, monstrous criminal won a sickening second term as US president. This didn't fit the mood at all, but that didn't take away from how fantastic this album is. I was already familiar with "Don't Know Why" and "Turn Me On", two tracks I absolutely love, so I was really excited to listen to this. This album is intimate, soulful, and gorgeous. Norah Jones' voice is soothing and smooth, and this was an excellent listen, despite the circumstances.

Catchy but slick.

I remember listening to this in the car with my mom as a kid in the morning on the way to school, so the nostalgia makes this album so much sweeter. I love her voice, and the chill vibes.

2.5 rounded up her voice is nice and all but in no way is this an essential listen. like be serious. highlights: feelin’ the same way, come away with me, nightingale (apr 28 2026)

This one has the first dance song from my wedding, so probably need to give it 5 stars. Every song on this one is solid.

Norah Jones manages to keep a very consistent cozy vibe throughout this record without being repetitive. Her soothing vocals combined with the soft tone of the instrumentals make this a perfect winter/rainy day listen. No songs really worth skipping on this album for me. Notable Tracks: - Don't Know Why - Seven Years - Feelin' The Same Way - Come Away With Me - Turn Me On - Lonestar - Nightingale - The Long Day Is Over 9.5/10

Nothing special

Loved it. Her voice is soothing like maple syrup.

Inoffensive MOR music, which is a little too beige for my tastes. Can't fault her voice or songwriting, but for me I like to be moved by music and this leaves me somewhat empty. 2/5

This very much defined soft pop radio in the early aughts. Nice easy listening. Highlights: don’t know why

This is an old favourite of mine, from back when I first started trying to branch out from my teenage grunge/metal tastes. I still find it really easy, chill album to listen to, without it getting boring. Love Norah's voice.

This is another one of those albums that struck a chord with the listening public as being something to put on if you were planning a cozy night in with your significant other. I’m not entirely sure quite how romantic the line about wanting to be turned on like a light bulb in a darkened room is though! It’s a nice easy listen though - a bit of piano, some folky guitar and smooth vocals from Norah herself. Not my usual cup of tea, but a solid 3 stars though.

For a long time I couldn't listen to this album. I found it boring, way too calm to my taste. Then I saw her live 15 years ago, and it started to change my impression of her and her music. Sure, it's very calm, but the music is actually nice and she's a great singer. I'm not a huge fan, but I don't run away from it anymore.

Come Away with Me is the debut studio album by Norah Jones, originally released in 2002. This was ok. Kinda better than I was expecting. Sure, it's very Starbucks-core. But it hits in the fall months. This album legit sounds like a Hallmark movie. It can get boring at times. The instrumentation is very jazz-influenced and sparse. Mostly just acoustic guitar with jazzy drums. The songwriting is a bit weak but for a pop record it suffices. Apparently this was mad popular when it first came out and even won a Grammy. I guess that makes sense since I've heard this type of music playing in nearly every store ever. That might be the problem I have with this record. It seems very manufactured for that exact purpose.

Quite dull. Don’t like her tone of voice much.

Lovely listen. Perfect for a walk home

I feel like this is really what I needed to hear today. I briefly considered giving this a 5.

I’m not into jazz at all but I prefer this kind of jazz

Gripped me from the start, she’s got a great voice with emotion behind each lyric.

Come Away with Me has a nice guitar solo. Shoot The Moon is pleasant. I've Got to See You Again is a good one with some violin. Painter Song has accordion including a solo so that's cool, very old time beach vibe. Overall a very chill and laid back album, kind of bluesy/jazzy/soul with solid vocals.

2 out of 14 songs. That is a really bad rate and remember this album got a Grammy...Pffff

The piano is nice

Saccharine lounge drivel vomited out of the daughter of a great sitarist. Only grandmas listen to this while driving very slowly and running red lights in their silver Toyota Camrys. It's listenable, sure, but does it have any substance? I couldn't find a single song I felt I would want to hear again. I know why she didn't come...

very good album, enjoyed it quite a bit, hadn't heard anything from her, but she is very talented!

Vibing hard, unexpectedly horny lyrics

#73 - grew up with this! Also didn't know she was the daughter of Ravi Shankar!

Fine voice.

Singer/songwriter meets jazz piano for nice chill background songs. I love the tone of her voice. Unfortunately, it’s become standard “Starbucks music” but that shouldn’t take away from the album, which was hugely popular when it first debuted. 3⭐️

Not too bad, surprised with how much I ended up liking, had never listened to her prior so didn’t know what to expect.

A moody little record indeed. I thought I would recognize the big songs on here but I don't. Must have been a blind spot for me. I find most of this charming but a bit soulless. Also feels really long for only 45 minutes. Favourite track: Painter Song

Beauty

listened to again like a warm hug

A classic album one of the best of the 2000s

An excellent fusion of pop and jazz. Norah's voice fits the production of the album so well as she reinforces the softness and gentleness of the record. Additionally, she brings spectacular songwriting to this project. Some of the songs kind of blend together, making the album dry at some points, yet, some songs on this project are just amazing. Favorite song: Painter Song --> The writing of this track is so well done, painting (no pun intended) a poignant and vivid image in the listeners mind.

Beautiful. Not usually what I listen to, but it sets the tone for the evening.

"Don't Know", "Come Away", "Shoot the Moon"... sometimes jazzy/bluesy songs and sometimes country... with the breathy voice that was in vogue in the late 90s to mid 00s, like a feminine Coldplay singing jazz club tunes

I like the slide and other guitar work on some. But man, it is sleepy. All jazz and jazz adjacent musicians of the last couple decades should be put on Charlie Parker's drug regimen, and get some mf pep in their tunes.

Don't Know Why 3.1 Seven Years 2.8 Cold Cold Heart 2.7 Feelin' the Same Way 2.7 Come Away With Me 2.8 Shoot the Moon 3 Turn Me On 2.8 Lonestar 2.8 I've Got to See You Again 3.1 Painter Song 2.8 One Flight Down 2.8 Nightingale 2.7 The Long Day Is Over 2.6 The Nearness of You 2.6 Score: 2.807142857

Easy listen. Really like this one! 5/5

Familiar. Fave song: don’t know why. Other highlights: one flight down, nightingale. The main reason this album is famous is probably don’t know why. I was disappointed with the first half but it picked up during the latter half. I like a few tracks would only probably listen to don’t know why again

Not really anything I am interested in in any way but it is very well out together.

Okay, now this is my jam. Way to start the morning. I'm confident now because of this album. This album sounds like a great cup of coffee, and I dont even drink coffee hahaha. She also looks lovely! I wanna date her.

Classy

One of the first things I saw when I was searching this album was a playlist titled “Coffee Shop Mix”, and that’s a pretty apt description. Nice and soft, with guitar, piano, strings, and a nice smoky voice to tie it all together. A perfectly listenable album.

It's nice to get a chill album every now and then.

Great album. Pairs well with other jazz classics on the list like Dave Brubeck - Time Out and Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Mysig

Enjoyed it

Her soft delivering but also raspy voice perfectly fits the smooth melody of the jazz/blues instrumentals

Not terrible, but very bland and boring. Ok in the background. Standout song: Nightingale

Love my girl Norah! Fee up listening to her because she was one of my mons favorites. Fav song: come away with me- a classic Least fav: nightingale Fav lyric: don’t know why I didn’t cum :(

the og coffeehouse rock

Sweet Norah. She looked better than she sounded.

This is an album with just a girl and her piano, about as well as it can be done. It’s not the most interesting music in the world, but it is really nice on the ears. Norah Jones reminds me of my mom’s van. And for that I have to give it 4 stars.

61

super mellow

i like mellow stuff. yea. if you told me this was mazzy star, i might believe you for a solid 22 seconds

This is nice relaxing music for a lazy morning. 🙂

A pretty good listen. It's pretty drawn-out and one-note at times, but she is an amazing vocalist. 3/5

This is very nice and polite and also incredibly boring. A fluffy cloud of husky vocals and twinkly piano. Background music for the most middle of the road coffee shop you can imagine.

It was fine. Nice, like a warm breeze. White women everywhere probably like it. Would be nice to make dinner to probably. Almost fell asleep

I got as far as the slaughtering of 'Your Cheating Heart' and bailed. Cocktail lounge jazz, generic, formulaic and devoid of real emotion.

Whimsical. Joni does it far better. Ditto Minnie Mouse.

some kind of country jazz?

Pleasant enough but a little insipid, no of the tracks were good enough to make me want to come back. If I’m having trouble sleeping I might play it again!

Such a beautiful voice. I remember this album was huge when I was growing up, my father used to play it all the time while ironing. Nice memories. The album is good, the artist is competent, and it’s all nice and warm and polite. But it quickly becomes boring. I mean it’s perfect to put it on In the background during a cozy evening at home. But on its own, it quickly loses its appeal.

I've never had had sex to this album, 4*.

Nice enough but totally forgettable.

Great voice, talented band, but the songwriting is generic and the production is pop 101

The small amount of sex that I managed to have in the early 2000s was soundtracked by this album. Or the first 90 seconds of it at least

Don't Know Why is a strong song. I was sick. This was a pretty good album to listen to when your head is achy and full of snot. It's probably good when you're healthy, too, but it worked for me. I'm a little better today. Coincidence?

I love this album, but I cant really listen to it as much as I used to because we had it play so often during clinic when I was going through college.

This album never came up in anything I was consuming so, you can imagine my confusion, when, after hearing this album, I discovered how many copies it sold. How many relatives does she have in India? As has been said by others this album is smooth in production, and performance, but the problem for me is that there is nothing on this album that screams to me THAT THIS IS A SONG THAT ONLY Norah Jones would perform that way. I expect that to be the bare minimum of a bar to leap over for an album to be relevant on an all time list. There is no personality. It sounds like many, many other highly competent performers I've heard over the years in jazz bar lounge, hotel bar lounges, and jazz festivals. The difference? They did not have the Ravi Shankar name association to get a deal done with Blue Note Records. The best albums reveal to you what a performer/performers personality and inner thoughts are. You come out of this album as in the dark about what makes Norah Jones tick as you did going in. Super boring, and this is from a guy who loves Shirley Bassey, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Patsy Cline, Barbra Streisand, Nat King Cole, Seal, and countless others that Norah is drawing upon but not moving forward at all. I cannot imagine myself feeling an insatiable urge to listen to this again. Definitely not an album that belongs on this list. Even worse is that this jazz rock record is included but the authors don't include Sting's THE SOUL CAGES or TEN SUMMONER TALES? Both of which are essential albums to this jazz rock genre. I have to wonder if Gordon Sumner stepped on the authors' dicks or something. Perplexing protocols for this list.

She has an amazing voice, but I never felt compelled to listen to this album. After listening, that instinct was correct. The source material is all derivative and frankly a bit boring. This did inspire me to go back and relisten to Little Broken Hearts, a Jones album about ten years newer and much more interesting.

Never thought I’d reach that age where this sounds right, but alas I have reached that age. Well sung and recorded. Kind of forget sometimes that there’s actually singer songwriters who can you know. Sing and wrote songs. Without a bunch of over-production. First came to Norah through her great renditions of Black Hole Sun and the Beatles’ I’ve got a Feeling. Nice to spend some time with her originals as well.

Like John Mayer and Jack Johnson but a much more feminine sound. Great voice, soft music, great study music.

Jones’ voice is fantastic. Come Away with Me is elite smooth jazzy lounge music. If you walked into a hotel bar and she was played, you’ve be thankful for the incredible background music, but in the end that’s all it is. Fantastic background music 5.8/10

Her calming and powerful voice made it a pleasant listen all throughout

Very chill, not much else to say

Not exactly pushing boundaries, but when you have a voice like that it doesn't matter how simple the music and lyrics are. I had an alright time listening to this. Actually mad that this won the Grammy though, which is an insane call. The Grammy's have always been trash though to be fair. 4.5 / 10 Best track/s: Honestly couldn't differentiate between one track or the other. The one with the piano and singer was alright.

Nice relaxing Pop Bar Jazz

Beautiful album. Good background music and some great guitar work in there, not really my style though

Lots of nostalgia. Very chilled album. 7.5/10

Quite elevator music-y, easy listening, not bad persay... 2.3

It's all very competently played, with a very unexcited, laid back attitude and atmosphere. Which makes it perfect to play in the background while sitting in a café, or while having a wine with your significant other and reminiscing. It ultimately also makes the whole album a tad boring.

If you like jazz vocals, Ms. Jones is a brilliant vocalist and this is a great album. I do not.

enjoyable

This is a perfect album that holds so much personal meaning for me.

Lekker albumpje voor in de ochtend

Incredible voice. Just a pleasantly relaxing album.

people keep calling this starbucks music in the reviews here. this is true, but not in the way they mean. to me it's the starbucks of my childhood. hot chocolate in december, before knowing the evils of the company or the poor quality of the drink. a warm blanket of an album.

It's not easy to combine jazz and standards and country and make it sound so good. Norah Jones's debut was sublime.

The last great mainstream jazz album? A great mainstream jazz album? She’s good. She can carry a tune and invest it with all the things you need. That some of the tunes are a little dull is certainly more a product of the time than any failing on her behalf. But she has a monster group of musicians and that she diverts from textbook jazz is also a strong mark in her favour. Worth a listen. 4.5

Put on the big speakers. Its a sound stage album. Its clarity playful light and breezy jazziness and soul and somehow a unququeness that just got too unquiquitous and worn out... now Ive ignored it for a decade I can hear it again , and Wow yeah, what it does. it does well. The soother. Not the albums fault it was overplayed or had mass appeal. I beleive I have the HD version somewhere. perfect for lsitenign to the vibrations between vibrations, and losing time.

This album is incredibly pleasant. Norah Jones has a very pleasant voice (soft, intimate, smooth, and sultry, if not a little unsexy), and a pleasant band. They play pleasant arrangements; a little bit jazz, a little bit folk, and little bit country. But nothing offensive, nothing that leaps out. Nothing is too loud, or too fast (or even too slow). It's very pleasant wallpaper. I'm not surprised it sold a bazillion copies in physical media (at a time the industry was starting to collapse), because it is a hard to hate. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice cited it as "the most unjazz album [Blue Note] has ever released" (true) and criticized that "Jones's voice dominates the record" (which is a feature, not a bug. She has a lovely voice). I will concede that she edits her arrangements with impeccable taste. Everything is tastefully underplayed, no superfluous string or synthesizer overdubs, mostly just simple understated and spacious playing, beautifully recorded. The rhythms gently swing. The instrumentation sets a stage for her voice, which is rightly placed in the spotlight. Nothing outstays its welcome. No songs much over 4 minutes, and many under 3. She has the great sense not to use every minute of available capacity on a CD, and keeps the whole album to a classic and classy 45 minutes. She interprets the works of many songwriters to give all the material a consistent voice, and I she knows exactly how long to play for. But I am unlikely to choose to play this record again.

This album is my comfort music. It may not be particularly innovative or groundbreaking, but it's so pleasant to listen to while you're wrapped up in a blanket on a chilly evening. And her vocals are amazing! 4 stars

Generic Starbucks easy listening music but I unapologetically like it. It's some bullshit I can put in the background while I answer emails and that's fine, I enjoyed it as that. There were some pretty groovy bass lines in here too.

Bland, but relaxing

Yawn. Something a yuppie coffee shop would be playing

Her voice is so soothing

Don’t Know Why I Didn’t Come Away With Turn Me On (threefer) and 2002 album of the year gets you on the 1001 list. This album makes me want to go out for a high end dinner at a classy cocktail lounge and listen to Nora’s smooth, schmaltzy voice. Even a coffee house will do (4.4*s)

I get that this album isn't for everyone but I've always enjoyed Norah Jones. Her voice is soft and unique and the blend of jazz and pop here is quite successful (walk into any coffee shop and prove me wrong). Light piano melodies, lullaby quality, relaxing vibe. Just add some rain outside and a good cocktail, I don't think you can go wrong here (+ Ravi Shankar) = 3.95.

I could not engage with this album at all. Too soft and boring. This may play well at a coffee shop or Barnes & Nobles. Not a must listen in my opinion. Standard bland 1 star...

This album is kinda tricky. Is Come Away With Me anything spectacular? I don't personally think so. However, I do remember this album taking the world by storm. Don't Know Why was everywhere and Norah Jones was touted as the next big thing when this album topped the charts and collected some Grammy's. It's not something I think I need to hear before I die, but I don't think it should be ignored either. I'm a little surprised it resonated with the world as much as it did. It's not a bad album, it just seems far too mellow and jazzy to have mass appeal. It was a fine listen, but didn't move the needle much for me. I haven't thought about this album in forever and don't really have any reason to come back to it now that we are past it on the list. 2.19 stars

'Come Away With Me' is a pleasant enough album. I listened while watching the rain out of my window, which was very fitting. I don't think that Norah Jones necessarily broke any boundaries with this album, but it's a nice, relaxing jazz standards record and sometimes it's just what you need. It was released by the legendary Blue Note record label, which had released albums from many of the greatest names in jazz, including Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Dizzy Gillespie, among many others. I don't have much in particular to comment about this album, except to say that she certainly has a beautiful voice. Great music for a coffee shop or rainy afternoon.

This album makes me feel like I'm getting stood up at a bar during a rainy night in New York City. Unmatched Vibes.

Pretty chill listen. I did enjoy listening to this. Her voice is pretty good and I didn’t realize I actually knew a couple of these songs ahead of time. Probably won’t revisit it. Favorite songs were Don’t Know Why, Come Away With Me, and Painter Song.

Norah Jones, daughter of Ravi Shankar, was just 22 years old when she released this debut album to mass acclaim. I’d heard much murmuring about it as some landmark of modern jazz, but had never sought it out until now. After multiple listens, I’m ready to confirm that “Come Away With Me” is two things: absolutely lovely, and absolutely terrifying. It’s lovely because of the atmosphere instilled by every one of these tracks: calming, lazy and hazy. It’s casually erotic and nonchalantly dreamy. I’m particularly drawn to the warmth of “Feelin’ the Same Way”, the mass appeal of the title track, and the gorgeously lethargic “The Long Day Is Over”. Special praise goes to Jones’ vocals: a little breathy, but very rich, soulful, and incredibly self-assured. The instrumentalists do a very good job, adding splashes of colour without becoming too indulgent or distracting. Tasteful slide guitar in “Seven Years” and “Lonestar” gives a country twang. Then there’s the jazzy bouncy double bass and twinkling piano in “Cold Cold Heart”, and several delightful acoustic and electric guitar solos throughout. So there it is: absolutely lovely. But “Come Away With Me” is also terrifying, and that’s because it’s triggering some kind of late-20’s existential crisis in me. Here’s the thing: I would never have gone near this stuff ten years ago. I would have found it incredibly bland, dull, shapeless, faceless. So now, as a twenty-eight year old… why don’t I still object to this music on impulse? Why do I find it lovely, laidback and comforting? Why am I giving it four stars where I gave fearless, envelope pushing artists like Big Black or Throbbing Gristle just one? Why don’t I look to be challenged any more? What happened to my superiority complex? Where is my sense of adventure? When did I last write a song? When did I last learn a knotty guitar solo? When did I last have an exciting dream? Why do I work in finance, and wear plain shirts to the office now? When did it become important to wipe down the windows after every shower, or keep a record of energy bills, or do a big shop on a Monday? Why was my last purchase a set of five pairs of socks? Am I bound to waste away in coffee shops and offices? Will I ever make anyone laugh again? Will “Come Away With Me” lull me into a comatose life? Will it be playing in purgatory? Will it be the hold music while I wait in line for all the promises life made to me as a child? The questions are terrifying, and thus so is the music. It turns over in my mind, beautiful and horrific, as I become numbed into my thirties and beyond. No alarms and no surprises, please.

This is the kind of music I'm expecting to hear as I'm getting pampered, or as I'm grocery shopping. It's relaxing, Norah Jones has a soothing voice. But it's not giving me what I want when I listen to music - it doesn't capture my attention, it just blends into the background.

Quite nice but not sure it should be on this list

Ok, so this also seems like vocal jazz, but I like this better. Maybe it is more singer/songwriter? This is a good album. It’s a chill record. Like a relaxing Saturday record.

Bland non-music

Very nice, nepo babies never sounded so good.

This was a fun album to listen to and will be favorited. Got it downloaded for my flight back to the US and looking forward to listening to it.

Super glad this was on here as I probably would never have gone back to it without it. Just real solid music. Kind of poppy, singer songwriter, jazz, a few country ish songs. I’m not surprised this is one of the top selling albums of all time cuz I feel like this was everywhere. On the radio, every Starbucks, and everyone’s iTunes.

Really good! She is clearly very talented and has an awesome sound. She has the type of voice that would improve anything. I think the stand out song was the first song. The rest of the album was pleasant but didn’t really grab me to the same extent. I really do appreciate her melancholy sound though. High 3 or a low 4.

Probably the most soothing album we’ve had so far. Nora Jones’ voice comes over you like a wave and you just kinda float off with the smooth jazz backing, the experience is unmatched. I am very familiar with this album and getting to come back to it is always a treat. Even with this album being two decades old, it still holds up. I’ll accept that the length might be a drawback and that it’s not something you’d play all the time, but that only brings me down to a four and a half and I’m gonna round up.

A perfect album for a rainy morning listen. I had forgotten about Norah Jones, so this was a pleasant reminder that I need to keep her in the rotation.

I didnt like this one. It was annoying, long, and dreary.

Artiste et album connu, mais peu apprécié à l'époque de sa sortie (belle voix mais morceaux peu intéressants et peu créatifs). Cette nouvelle écoute ne m'a pas fait changer d'avis ... j'ai toujours cette impression de musique de fond vite oubliée. =>2/5
