The follow-up to the singer's Mercury Prize-nominated debut plays it safe with impressive performances and lukewarm material.

"She imparts yearning with such controlled restraint and lightness of touch it’s sublime. To top it all, latest single ‘Say You Love Me’ is simply stunning.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "For all its vulnerability, TOUGH LOVE is tenacious, too, brimming with R&B grooves and a whole lot of soul. There are plenty of showcases for Ware's acrobatic vocals...", "It's full of consistently subtle pop music that favors groove over rave. With their atmospheric swagger, both 'Sweetest Song' and 'Desire' sound like they could have been lifted right from Ware’s debut."
