Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
The title tune that kicks off Chely Wright's Never Love You Enough is a typical overwrought country-pop love pledge, but on other tunes Wright cuts masterfully to love's twisted chase with anguished musical vignettes of romantic ambiguity. Women who aren't loved enough ("Jezebel," "Deep Down Low"), women who are loved too much ("Not As in Love"), women who've lost their men ("Her")and women who want their men to get lost ("While I Was Waiting") are all topics of the day. Yet Wright brings similar emotional authority to a pair of songs--"One Night in Las Vegas" and "For the Long Run"--that celebrate the quiet, hard-fought intimacy of long-term commitment. To describe Wright, who wrote or co-wrote five of these 12 cuts, as a country diva with a graduate degree in marital counselling is a compliment. For the most part, she delivers these plaints of romantic anguish and (occasional) serenity with conviction and understated grace. --Bob Allen

A Change In Direction For Chely!!!!
Chely decides to go more Pop/Country on this album.Which is a shame as all her previous albums have been excellent traditional/contemporary country.
However Never Love You Enough is still a good album.It includes her big hit Jezebel.The best songs are mainly her ballads as that's where her great voice shines the most.Such as For The Long Run,Not As In Love and Deep Down Low.She has some good uptempos as well like Wouldn't It Be Cool which Trisha Yearwood provides harmonies on and Horoscope,one of the 3 songs that she wrote with the amazing Brad Paisley.
But the real gem is the lovely ballad One Night In Las Vegas which Brad provides the harmonies on.Great lyrics and their voices really gel well together.
Not one of her best albums but still a good album by any standards.A worthy addition to any country collection....

Great follow-up to Single white female
Following the success of Single white female, it seemed that Chely had finally made the big time. This album could have confirmed her arrival but, for whatever reason, it didn't. The singles didn't do as well as expected so the record label lost interest in Chely. It's a pity because this is a fine album full of great songs, but at least it didn't mark the end of Chely's career - she eventually started recording again.

This is, essentially, an upbeat album, which includes a mix of happy songs with other songs that look on the bright side of various situations. The title track seems at first to be a happy song but closer study shows that it is about a woman who loves a man more than the man loves her - even so, the woman is sticking to her man The second song, Jezebel, has echoes of Loretta Lynn - it is about a woman trying to keep her man from a rival. Compared to Loretta's songs such as Fist city and You ain't woman enough, Chely's song may seem restrained but the determination is the same.

My favorite song here, One night in Las Vegas, is about a couple who have their difficulties but the good times make the struggles worthwhile. So the album continues with one great song after another, all of which Chely sings superbly. The music may be a little too contemporary for some but Chey's voice is always the most important element - the music never gets in the way of her wonderful voice.

This album may not be quite as good - or as successful - as Single white female, but that classic album was always going to be difficult to follow. This is a brilliant album in its own right. If you enjoy any of Chely's other albums, you will surely love this too.

Chely's finest work to date
Never Love You Enough, Chely Wright's fifth album, is without doubt her finest work to date. From the power of the opening title track to the slightly gospel-like Deep Down Low, each track further develops Chely as an artist, and on One Night In Las Vegas (in my opinion the outstanding track on the album) and Horoscope, as a co-writer and producer (with Brad Paisley). The other stand out tracks, other than those mentioned above, are Jezebel (which will get feet tapping), What If We Fly, and Wouldn't It Be Cool, in which Chely ponders "wouldn't it be cool if all the supermodels tried to look like me". The photos in the CD booklet prove that Chely is just as good looking as any of them. Buy this CD and play it continuously.
