The Deep Field is the third regular studio album by Joan as Police Woman, released in 2011.[1][2]
Critical reception
The album has received positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 70, based on 14 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[6]
In a positive review, Q magazine stated, "There is slick virtuosity to all the playing here but it is her warm, witty presence that shines through."[7] James Skinner, in his 8/10 review for BBC Music says "...there is something fantastically indulgent and heartening going on here: the sense that Wasser is embracing her peculiarities and making giddy, ebullient light of them. Long may she continue to do so."[8] Andy Gill, from The Independent called it "everything the Adele album lacks: real emotional insight, couched in genuinely soulful arrangements bristling with imagination."[9] However, Michael Cragg's review for The Guardian was mixed, saying, "Wasser's featherlight voice suits the slower songs, it has a tendency to sound slightly one-dimensional on the over-fussy bigger numbers, and there are moments when it drifts too close to polite MOR."[10] In a negative review, David Raposa for Pitchfork Media criticized the overall sound of the album stating, "While she aims for such critically acclaimed heights, her shots often land in a middle-of-the-road, adult-contemporary wasteland."[11]
