Jewel's debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice--strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common with, say, the Indigo Girls or Lisa Loeb than with Judy Collins or Nanci Griffith. Despite her soft soprano and pretty melodies, her songs have an iconoclastic edge which make her more of an unplugged alternative rocker than a folkie. Her songs too often betray their origins as written verse in their hard-to-sing meters, unmusical phrasing, and diary-like pronouncements. Nonetheless, a few numbers, such as "Morning Song" and "You Were Meant for Me," show a spark of humor about romance, and hint that Jewel may yet write songs worthy of her remarkable voice. --Geoffrey Himes

 Mixed Feelings Here May 7, 2010

Some of the songs here have great lyrics with a lot of depth and emotion, but others sound like she was trying way too hard to put emotion into her voice. I was also disappointed that "Foolish Games" on this is a bad live version instead of the way better radio version. "You were meant for me isn't the right version either. This CD basically reminds me of a high schooler trying hard to sound grown up and worldly.

I alway's had a problem with this CD, some songs released on this cd are different versions than the song's played on the radio ( the radio versions are better).

This is truly Jewel at her best and most honest. Her haunting voice, the simplicity in the music.
I celebrate Jewel's music most because she writes ALL of her own work. She truly is a musician...one of the few surviving.

Jewel is without doubt one of my favourite artists alive today. I have this CD over 10yrs now and have just starting listening to it again. It brought back all of the feelings that I got from the first time I listened to it. There is somthing pure and naive about this album, but the lyrical content and beautiful melodies defy that fact that she was only 16yrs old (i think!), when she recorded it. Tracks such as 'You Were Meant for Me', 'Pieces of You' and the beautiful 'Foolish Games' do stand the test of time and are heart rendering. Classic debut, unmatched in it's entirity by anything she has written or recorded since. Thoroughly Recommended..I don't give 5-Star ratings easily..Enjoy
