Critical reception

edit

Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits gave "I'm No Angel" four out of five and named it "a decent record." She added, "She uses her distinctive voice to full effect on this, soaring all over the place yet always ending up in the right place. Totally brilliant except for the dodgy choral bit at the end."[2]
