Critical reception [ edit ]
AllMusic editor Brendan Swift called The Power a "solid debut release." He found that the album has her flexing "impressive vocals among a range of standard pop, dance, and rock tracks. Her strong and soulful voice doesn't always sound at home among the more lightweight pop [...] The Power is characterized by consistency rather than standout songs – a glimpse of Vanessa Amorosi's promise, rather than the best of Vanessa Amorosi."[1] Irene Kanaris of Melbourne radio station 3FOX-FM called the album "one of the best" Australian pop album in years.[3] Jodie Prudames from MTV Australia found that The Power was "fresh and shows off her great voice."[3]
Accolades [ edit ]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2000 , the album was nominated for two awards: Highest Selling Album and Breakthrough Release.
