Look is the seventh studio album by Beth Nielsen Chapman, released April 5, 2005. It reached number 63 in the UK Albums Chart.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

Sue Keogh of the BBC writes "If you like well-crafted music for grown-ups, she's not to be missed. Listening to Beth Nielsen Chapman is like listening to any Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kate Campbell or Sarah McLachlan record; it's your older, more sensible sister talking."[5]

Will Layman of Pop Matters says "Beth Nielsen Chapman is a rare creature; a songwriter first and a performer second. Lots of sensitively expressed feelings here, kids. Nice songs."[3]
