"After hearing the lead single, "Play My Funk", it was hard to determine the direction in which the album would go. The closest that comes to Simple E's style may have been Left Eye. There's another surprise, she sings as well. The album is as colorful as the title, Colouz Uv Sound, but lacked with substance and the fact that she recycled her own lyrics to create hooks for other songs. For a debut this isn't a good sign. The creativity upheld as the album was falling due to lack of attention. Smoking is a must as the mood gives a more relaxing atmosphere on "Kinke Reggae". "Realite" or reality is captivating with its realism as it gives closure to this LP on a good note."
