Entertainment Weekly says:
Given the emotional breakdown she reportedly suffered earlier this year, Susan Boyle sounds surprisingly self-assured on I Dreamed a Dream, the YouTube sensation's highly anticipated debut: "Who I Was Born to Be," the
only original tune here, is pure showbiz-
veteran schmaltz. For fans of Boyle's original Britain's Got Talent clip, the result might be a bit of a letdown, especially
in snoozily competent versions of "Daydream Believer" and Madonna's "You'll See," which offer none of her jarred-lightning charm. Still, the lady's "Cry Me a River" does pack a strangely sensual punch - the weird thrill of hearing SuBo get low.
