Amazon.co.uk Review
Fans of Paolo Nutini’s debut album, These Streets might raise an eyebrow or two at this sophomore release. Produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon), Sunny Side Up features an eclectic and "rougher" range of songs that set it somewhat apart from its slick predecessor. Recorded in Ireland, Wales, New York, LA and the UK, Nutini--backed by his band The Vipers--tackles folk, reggae, soul and rock, with varying results. The Motown-esque "Coming Up Easy", the ballad "Worried Man" and the sea-shanty "Growing Up Beside You" are shining examples of Nutini's erudite songwriting skills, as is the charming, Dylan-esque "Tricks Of The Trade". But songs like "Pencil Full Of Lead" and "No Other Way", as well as his forays into reggae-lite and ersatz ragtime are less convincing, often sounding more like sketches than full songs. Whether Sunny Side Up is bravely eclectic or an incoherent disaster depends ultimately on the loyalty--and the patience--of the listener. --Danny McKenna

 sunny and happy all the way March 9, 2010
Mrs. J. Parker (UK)
Great CD,does what it says on the label,makes you feel happy and sunny.Poalo Nutini has a wonderful relaxing way of singing,very soothing and yet foot tapping.I only heard of Poalo at Christmas and immediately loved his style, gentle with a hint of jazz.His songs have great lyrics,very romantic and a hint of comedy.
 all over the place, still good fun though March 9, 2010

First off, I hadn't heard any of his music before, so I can't compare this to his first album.
The man is very ambitious in terms of the number of genres and the musical ground he covers with this, and I think it doesn't work. He finds great melodies and I would say his singing is first rate, but often he just tries too hard to prove that he can be Otis Redding, Bruce Springsteen and several others rolled into one, and that just doesn't sound credible. As an album, this is a mess, even if many of its constituent parts are good. The music just skips and jumps between songs.
This is still great fun to listen to. In terms of sheer musicality, I think he's remarkable, and it's nice to see someone experiment so freely. One could also call it arrogant given how young he is. In any case, I look forward to his next album, when he might have narrowed down a little bit what he thinks he's about.

At 50 I thought my days of enjoying 'pop' music had long gone. So thanks to Paolo Nutini for giving me back some credibility with my son :-). The album is a varied mix of styles and one that keeps you interested throughout. Now, where did I leave my Ovaltine?

What a great album and voice. Thoughtful, fun and full of character. Love driving with this in my ears.
