Joni Mitchell has long dabbled in the jazz world, forging alliances with the likes of Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, and Wayne Shorter, while incorporating elements of fusion into her more intrepid recordings. Both Sides Now, however, comes at jazz from a different angle than the experimental likes of Mingus and The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Here is Joni the chanteuse, tackling smoky standards such as "At Last," "Sometimes I'm Happy," and "Stormy Weather" in the embrace of lush pop arrangements that owe a debt to Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins, though some stray over the line from stately into staid. The focus here is on Mitchell the vocalist, and she displays a real commitment to the music. She has the chops and the smarts to tackle these staples, but at times she seems intimidated by their illustrious pedigrees. Two of Mitchell's own songs are revived here--"A Case of You" and the title track. The results are mixed: the former takes on a new weight while the latter seems adolescent in such mature company. Ultimately, Both Sides Now is more a valentine to classic pop by a woman who can--and should--be off making more touchstones of her own. --Steven Stolder

 Joni Mitchell / Both Sides Now April 28, 2008
I have the HDCD and this DVD-A really shines! A big overall far more dynamic sound. Great!
Both sides now April 22, 2008
It is a good selection of Joni's music with classics including "Chelsea Morning" as well as "Both sides now". Enjoy!
Fantastic February 27, 2008
If you like the classic Joni Mitchell - this will be a surprise. She comes on as a throaty jazz/blues singer. It is not contrived - she has assumed and become one with this style.
She sings some of her classic - A Case of You - with a new, slower, and very satisfying version.
The orchestra and recording quality are first rate.
Highly recommended.

5 Stars for the title song December 19, 2007
It isn't possible for me to listen this version of Both Sides Now without being emotionally moved. The rest of this cd is icing on the cake.
Definitely not everyone, not even a lot of hardcore Joni Mitchell fans - I wouldn't put myself in that camp - this collection of jazz standards and one remarkable remake of one of her early classics is one fantastic package.
