About.com
Now on her fourth studio album, Big, Macy finds herself under the guidance of hitmaker will.i.am and others who harness and refine her distinctive raspy voice. The results are mixed: her sound’s been updated, but on a few Big songs, her wacky personality is so diluted that she sounds like a run-of-the-mill, average pop singer. […]

PopMatters
Much like this album’s cover and inside photos, which feature a professionally made-up Macy looking fairly glamorous, there’s a sense that Macy’s music has been airbrushed a little too much for this album. […]

The Guardian
Pared down to its essential tracks – the brassy, gangster-romanticising Ghetto Love, the bawdy, bluesy Strange Behavior and her big orchestral moment, Shoo Be Doo – this would have made a fantastic EP. […]
