READ

BBC
A fine fifth album from Melua, mixing accomplished covers with original material.Overall, this is a very relaxing album to while away an hour, and it’s beautifully recorded. […]

The Arts Desk
No one is expecting Melua to reinvent herself. Secret Symphony is lovely but cautious, with a feeling of comfort zones being reinstated. It probably isn’t the album to return her to the heights of 2007. […]

allmusic
Secret Symphony is therefore not without its charms, but ultimately it’s a clear step backwards from an artist who appeared to be overcoming her notable lack of edge. […]
