Like most "overnight sensations," Vonda Shepard had been slogging away for quite a spell--more than a decade's worth of touring, and three previous albums, to be precise--before getting to grab the brass ring via the hit TV show Ally McBeal. This disc reprises most of the cover songs Shepard performed during the series' first year, from the ubiquitous "Hooked on a Feeling" to a lovely reading of the '60s nugget "Walk Away Renee." But to Shepard's credit, the smattering of originals don't suffer too much in comparison: in fact, her "Searchin' My Soul" is one of the album's strongest moments. --David SpragueCustomer reviews:  Good CD for Ally fans, Vonda fans look elsewhere, 2008-10-15
If you were a fan of Ally McBeal, and you want a CD of songs from the TV show, you will enjoy this CD. However, if you're looking for a Vonda Shepard CD, you'd do better off buying one of her solo albums. I recommend "By 7:30," "It's Good Eve," "Chinatown," or her new CD, "From The Sun." Vonda only wrote four of the songs on this CD, and the rest are covers. She sings them well, but you really can't appreciate her talent as a composer and lyricist until you've heard an entire album of her material. Although this CD introduced me and hundreds of other people to Vonda Shepard, it's really not the best representation of her music.
Still, Vonda Shepard fans might find this CD worthwhile if they want "Will You Marry Me" or the Ally McBeal version of "Searching My Soul," neither of which are not available on any other CD. (There is an acoustic version of "Searching My Soul" on Vonda's 1992 album "The Radical Light," but it's not as good as the Ally McBeal version.) Otherwise, skip this CD unless you were a fan of Ally McBeal or you want to hear Vonda sing a bunch of covers of 1960's songs.

Contained on this CD are 14 convincing arguments against the capitalist system. If you want to include the cover art, make that 15. Total dreck. Ms. Shepard ought to get a job working for the local meat market. If she can butcher a side of beef as thoroughly as she butchers these songs, she'll be Employee of the Month in no time.
