Editorial Review:
Martina McBride's fourth RCA album may not be her best work, but it remains a state-of-the-art '90s pop-country album, filled with insouciantly catchy melodies, flawlessly smooth production, and some genuinely memorable material. The 1997 set is balanced between earnestly romantic tunes like "Here in My Heart," midtempo acoustic songs like "Be That Way," and quasi-feminist numbers like "A Broken Wing," which rivals "Independence Day" for her most focused, soulful performance to date. The album might have benefited from more judicious editing: the cutesy opening snippet, the superficial "Keeping My Distance," and the gooey "Valentine" feel out of place on this mostly well crafted, emotionally sung work. --Roy Kasten
Evolution Reviews:
My favorite Martina album! 
2007-04-26 - I really love this cd, especially the song "A Broken Wing." There is also the opening gem I am Little But Loud.
Her best.... 
2005-11-12 - In response to the "It's Martina" review from Sam, the beginning and end of this CD was not done by her kids. It was Martina at a very young age.
I always thought that this album was her best. Each of her albums obviously has some great songs, but for me, Evolution was the album that made me the Martina fan that I am.
It's Martina! 
2005-10-16 - I only found a couple of songs that I really liked.
Did not like the beginning and end of the CD at all. Must be her kids.
Her last CD was much better.
Possibly The Best 
2005-01-13 - I'm a big martina fan. i dont have all her albums, but i do have a decent collection. i think she has an incredible voice, and seems to always find the greatest songs to match it.
This album, in my opinion, is likely her greatest original release. there is not one song that i don't like. and aside from her greatest hits (which i love cuz it has most of my faves), this would be my fave. a very powerful album vocally and lyrically.
i definetly strongly recommend adding this one to your collection.
Martina Is Awesome 
2004-12-01 - I happen to love this CD, songs like "Keeping My Distance". "I Don't Want To See You Again" and "Broken Wing" are country classics. There is simply not a bad song on it. Martina is music for ADULTS, who love a beautiful singer with intelligent lyrics. I happen to think that this is a better CD then "Greatest Hits", and her other material. It has taken me awhile to get into Martina (She is NOT Shania, or Patty Loveless (Let alone Sherrie Austin)). But she is an excellent singer, and this CD is highly recommended.
