Rolling Stone review

And then, there's Mariah. After a handful of delays, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel finally arrives in a fiercely competitive sales week. Teaming with the all-star production duo of The-Dream and "Tricky" Stewart and revealing a humorous side usually hidden by the diva, "the result is Carey's most sonically and tonally coherent release, a mix of love ballads ('Inseparable') and sassy breakup anthems ('Standing O') that might have been her best album had it been several songs shorter," Jody Rosen writes in his three-and-a-half star review. Unfortunately, Memoirs's second half isn't quite the page-turner, thanks largely to her plodding cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is".
