Atlanta, GA, USA

October 22, 1998

Sisterhood is powerful on this all-star summit.

It's another fine female album.

Moncton, NB, Canada

October 22, 1998

There's no doubt it is the MOR music equivalent of the Second Coming. Course, that means the usual: not a single fleck of danger or unpredictability mars the angelic idealism and toothless orchestration.

Not only are these women all divas with complementary styles, they're all sports who aren't afraid to share the stage and be overshadowed occasionally.

[Twain] brings a blast of fresh country air to a tried-and-tested charity formula, which has produed here a disc otherwise of mawkish ballads, smothered in self-congratulatory treacle.

The set is an engaging demonstration of the reins that females currently hold over pop.

The public seems to have an enormous appetite for over-reaching, over-emoting songstresses and soulless musical backdrops.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

October 25, 1998

The recording is excellent and the women make a case for themselves as the current divas of pop and soul.

Brisbane QLD, Australia

The result isn't the stuff of musical memories, but the drop-dead camaraderie between them.

Auckland, New Zealand

October 25, 1998

While this one-night-only benefit concert is predictably gold-plated, pop-perfect bombast it does have some special moments.
