This Kind of Love ranks among Simon's most personal albums as well as one of her most stylistically diverse excursions with songs ranging from gorgeous melodies to driving rhythms. The CD is co-produced by Simon, Frank Filipetti and Jimmy Webb who also wrote or co-wrote most of the arrangements. Filipetti worked his talent as the engineer as well as producer. The three first teamed up for Film Noir, Simon's album of standards that Webb produced in 1997. On This Kind of Love, Simon delivers 10 of her own songs (some of which she co-wrote), including the gently swaying title love song, the funky castigation of conniving celebrity-identity thieves ("People Say A Lot"), the catchy "How Could You Ever Forget" (one of Simon's personal favorites), the r&b-vibed "So Many People," the lyrical gem, "Sangre Dolce," and a waltz-time homage to her close friend, the humor columnist Art Buchwald, who passed in January 2007 ("Too Soon to Say Goodbye").

I was so excited to see this album, that I purchased it on the spot...full price!I quickly popped it into my car and couldn't believe my ears.Her voice is gone...shot. It's not just the title song, it is every song.Poor breath management, poor intonation. I was so embarrassed for her.I can't imagine why she would have released such a poor representation of her once HUGE talent.I didn't like the lyrics, or the music.The entire thing was a disappointment.Once I arrived at a friend's house ...

- Wonderfully Intimate, Subtle Lyrics and Satisfyingly Musical Album
This is a really nice comeback.The Latin rhythms and textures are inspired and Carly weaves them beautifully
with her own signature style.You can read in the other reviews on this site about specific songs....
But I'll say here that the lyrics are better than ever: heart-breaking, slice-of-life and more of an open window
into her life and feelings.The musical feeling, itself, seems unusually profound, for any singer-wongwriter.
I bought it months ago and still enjoy ... Read More
Rating: - Carly's the best!
I grew up with the beautiful voice of Carly Simon.Her songs, when I hear them again, take me back to different times of my life.Over the years she had done nothing but get better.
I think it's wonderful that she made this CD her own effort by doing most of the writing herself and incorporating the talents of her children.The result of her brilliance is one of her best albums in terms of music and lyrics ever!
Rating: - Disappointing
I have to agree with DK Baker from back in July. I was/am a fan of Carly Simon's music and had a number of albums from the very earliest through to the nineties. I did not much enjoy her take on standards, as I did not think her voice suited many of them. I managed to get this album way below list price and I am very glad I did not pay many pennies for it. The songs are very weak compared with her early stuff, and as Mr Baker says, the phrasing is 'strange'. I thought she was sometimes trying too hard to get ... Read More
Rating: - Addicted to This Kind of Love
Carly Simon's latest is a compelling, adventurous, personal album with beautiful, intricate arrangements, strong support from some great and even legendary musicians (Jimmy Webb), and memorable melodies.It may not appeal to everyone the first time through, but I don't think that Carly's thoughtful, emotional songs and lyrics and sometimes complex phrasing always do--it can take time to really 'get' these songs and settle into them. Carly is older now (who isn't?), but unlike some reviewers here I don't think ... Read More
