Lucky to have it 23 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
Alice completed this recording only months before she succumbed to cystic fibrosis, a lifelong burden she affected to wear lightly as is clear in the BBC TV documentary The Nine Lives Of Alice Martineau, filmed when she had by her own estimation used up about six of them.

Alice wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album, and there is not a duff one among them. On the contrary, they are filled with interest and bear repeated listening. The CD is also an immense credit to her co-writers, producer, arranger, voice coach, and the Sony team who had the gumption to give Alice a contract. The BBC programme showed how badly Alice's CF impeded her breathing. To hear her sing you would never know it, which is another of this album's mini-miracles.

In my opinion, Baby's Fine is the outstanding track on Daydreams. Packed with imagination and musical professionalism, it encapsulates what a great team Alice had, in this instance including co-writer Howard Toshman and arranger Chris Elliott. A credit to all involved, and Alice an inspiration to all.

Beautiful Music 8 July 2003
Format:Audio CD
'Daydreams' is my favourite album of all time. Alice's sound is unique. Her voice is beautiful and she writes all her own songs. Alice suffered from Cystic Fibrosis and sadly died earlier this year but her music continues to inspire many. She had a wonderful attitude to life which is reflected in her songs. She describes her music as some where in between Natalie Imbruglia and Dido- but I think she is far better. All the tracks are amazing but perhaps the best is 'Inside of you'. You MUST buy her album, it won't leave your CD player!

Fantastic CD!! 11 Mar 2003
By "jja1"
Format:Audio CD
...This cd hasn't left my player in over a week and I hear new elements with every listen. 11 fantastic songs here, all with great production and soaring melodies. Fans of Beth Orton, Dido, EBTG, Mae Moore will be thrilled by this. I think the Bjork comparison comes from a particular tone in Alice Martineau's voice which does indeed remind one of Bjork.

The lead off single "If I Fall" is actually my least favorite track here. Give track 4 a listen and fall in love. Enjoy!

Touching but a little bland
The album itself is good but the story behind it is rather sad though - she died from cycstic fibrosis not long after the album was released.
