Rolling Stone says:
Soldier sustains the mellow vibe for the whole album, with reggae-inflected melodies to suit the slow-motion lilt of "Morning Bird," "Bring Me Home" and "Skin." Part of her mystery is that she's kept the same lineup of musicians together for more than 25 years; nobody seems to know or care who they are, but Sade-the-band has the same light touch as Sade-the-singer, ensuring that each groove flows imperceptibly into the next. The only jarring moment is "Babyfather," which has an abrasive lyric about a broken family and an unusually cheery melody. Not to mention a hilariously English title.
