HMV Review
Boy George has worn two hats during his career. On one hand, he is a DJ, mixing dance hits in a non-stop orgy of dance music. Obviously, his other hat is that of a pop/rock singer, which is the basis for the songs on this collection. Some of these songs are old, classic Boy George solo outings from his brilliant Cheapness & Beauty CD and era (such as Cheapness & Beauty, If I Could Fly, and the incredibly moving and brilliant Il Adore), as well as his band Jesus Loves You (the song Bow Down Mister). Other songs are from his London play Taboo (Ich Bin Kunst, St. Christopher, and Wrong). The songs are pop-driven, guitar-oriented little stories. The songs are very melodic, with stirring string and brass arrangements. He is actually able to carve his own style of music, which is miles away from Culture Club. The older songs are remixed, but retain their original style and quality, and together the songs all fit. The CD is a concept of sorts, basically an apparent autobiography of an artist coming to terms with his sexuality and how it fits in with his music. ~ Aaron Badgley, Rovi

新曲の中ではイッチ・ビン・カンストはよかったのだが・・・他は、なんだか、印象が弱かった気がする。 過去作品からの曲はどこがどう違うのかあまり解らないのは気のせいだろうか（笑）悪くは無いけど、コレは！ってのでも無いかな。 僕も歌詞・対訳が無いのはカナリショックでした（笑0 people agree with this review

ボーイ･ジョージの過去と現在の心の内を明かしたシリアスなものとなっているので実に味わい深い。全体的にアコースティックで曲順もいいので最初から最後まで止めず通おしで聴くことができる。80年代からのファンやここ数年の80’Sブームによって彼の存在を知ったファンが多いというのに･･･歌詞・対訳を割愛してしまうのはヤバ in the night？0 people agree with this review
