The title notwithstanding, this debut from the former Faithless singer is pretty angelic-sounding stuff. You're bound to think of Sinéad O'Connor, but the comparison is as misleading as it is inevitable. Granted, Dido's ethereal vocals here frequently recall O'Connor; but Dido's music -- while inventively augmented with electronics -- is generally less adventurous. Ditto No Angel's lyrics, which focus almost exclusively on love, lust, and relationships. That said, the fact remains that this is an auspicious and highly listenable album -- atmospheric, seductive, and beautifully produced and sequenced. ~ Jeff Burger, All Music Guide
I was skeptical about buying this CD, because I had only heard her two songs on the radio, but I liked Here With Me and Thankyou so took a chance and was pleasantly surprised!!! Dido's haunting voice and lyrics that touch the heart are evident in every song on the CD. The Bonus Track called Take My Hand is INCREDIBLE. I listened to it over and over again. If you like music with meaning and expression, you will LOVE Dido's "No Angel!"
