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").

- Dreadful Nightmare
Let's start by saying that I am a Carly Simon fan and have collected all of her recordings. Carly has had ups and downs in her, mostly respectable, recording career. But then she released "This Kind Of Love". What a dreadful collection of music...the words nightmare, awful and unpleasant come to mind. Save your money, do not buy this stinker! Let's pretend it never happened!
Rating: - Disappointing CD
I am a huge Carly Simon fan, as well as a fan of Brasilian music, particularly Jazz Samba.When I saw that Carly Simon had released a CD that included Brasilian music, I eagerly anticipated its arrival, despite several reviews that suggested she had lost her voice.I think she peaked in around 1990, with the terrific "Have You Seen Me Lately," but I've enjoyed recent recordings such as the 2000 "Bedroom Tapes" and her 2005 "Moonlight Serenade."That said, I found "This Kind of Love" to lack any ...

Rating: - People Say A Lot When They Don't Understand
As one reviewer remarked, Carly Simon is not going to give us another 'No Secrets','Playing Possum' or 'Boys in The Trees". That was another space in time for us and for her. But this intimate look at where she is now is quite remarkable. In Fact, I would venture to say she sounds more vibrant and energized than most all her contemporaries. Always chronically under-rated and often over-looked, Simon has never really gotten the recognition she has deserved and unfortunately, it again seems to be the ... Read More
