Coverage Reviews:
Mandy covers some classics... and does a pretty good job 
2007-11-13 - On this album, Mandy tried her hand at covering some classic songs from the 1970's and 1980's. Overall, this is a very well done covers album. While Mandy modernized the sound of the songs, she did it without sacrificing the "soul" of the original versions. From hearing Mandy's vocal deliveries, you can tell she has a true appreciation for the material that's covering. And this album really showcases Mandy's vocal abilities. My favorite songs on this CD include: "Senses Working Overtime," "Drop the Pilot," "One Way or Another," and "Have a Little Faith in Me."
This edition of the album came with a bonus DVD. It includes 30 minutes of interview footage with Mandy, as well as the video for "Have a Little Faith in Me." Mandy really impressed me in the interviews; she came across as an intelligent and very personable young woman. She also came across as being true to herself, and not some kind of manufactured image.
When covers attack... 
2007-01-30 - It's rare for a covers album to be something really special. Shawn Colvin's "Cover Girl" was probably the last one I've heard that I wanted to go back to again and again, partly because of the obscurity of her picks, and partly because of the mix of live & studio recordings. Mandy Moore's "Coverage" appeals to me at a different level, however. She's mentioned that a lot of the tracks she sang were picked for her, songs that she hadn't been previously exposed to, and she tackles them each with an exuberance that in some cases, even the original recordings don't match. "Whole Of The Moon" alone is worth the price of the album. For me, the defining trait of this record is that it offers up a better Mandy than her own previous ones. I'm very curious to see how this experience shapes her future work, since she's now back in the studio recording a new album.
It's Mandy Moore . . .
2007-01-09 - . . . what can I say? I love just about anything that she does.
Grows on you
2006-12-04 - The instrumentals sound as if they were made on a computer (and they were, on a Mac). It doesn't feel very polished, but the vocals are honest and accurately convey the meaning and intent of the original songs. After a few listens, it grows on you in a good way. The complementary DVD only has one music video (as well as a brief documentary), despite more videos having been produced for the album.
Great and superb
2006-12-03 - Mandy Moore might not be as super-famous as her dancing blonde cohorts, but that isn't because she doesn't possess talent. On the contrary, the bottle brunette is probably (and this is arguable, of course) the most talented of the bunch. She doesn't swivel practically naked on stage like Spears, she doesn't oversing just because she can like Aguilera and she doesn't say stupid things like Simpson. On Coverage Moore displays matured singing abilities that both impress and sooth, as evident on "The Whole of the Moon," "Can We Still Be Friends" and "Drop the Pilot." Lead single "Have a Little Faith in Me" (which impressively--for a blatant cover--cracked the Top 20) certainly helped display to the pop music world that this girl has the staying power most of her peers lack; Coverage is a disc all ages can appreciate--heck, I didn't even know most of these songs were songs before this album came out! The electronic and DJ mixed sounds on opener "Senses Working Over Time" set the mood for the rest of the record, which contains songs from the 60s and 70s with a funky, cool new sound. This is an excellent CD (this version has a bonus DVD) which can only further Mandy Moore's now-impressive career.
