Editorial Review:
In this instance, "deluxe collection" denotes six songs that blues guitarist Peter Malick recorded with vocalist Norah Jones before she hit it big, a (previously released) EP's worth of material padded here into a two-disc, 31-cut set of radio edits, club mixes, dub mixes, and DJ remixes, with only eight of them previously unreleased. (There are nine versions of the set-opening "New York City" alone.) The material stretches itself pretty thin, as the equal billing given Jones with Malick (the only two members of the "Peter Malick Group" who appear throughout) aims to attract Norah Jones completists or tempt those who might confuse this with one of her own releases. Malick's four original compositions range from the psychedelic swirl of "Strange Transmission," given a girlish lilt by Jones, to the Rolling Stones/Velvet Underground propulsion of "Things You Don't Have to Do," on which the two duet. Jones rarely oversings the way Malick occasionally overplays, though a cover of Magic Sam's "All Your Love" finds Jones straining for emotive effect in a way that she never does on her own releases. --Don McLeese
New York City - Deluxe Reviews:
Nora in New York City 
2007-03-21 - ....I know it was some time ago, and the voice (not quite as experienced) is
always instantly recognizable, but it was Nora Jones !
If you are a Nora Jones Fan you will Love this album. Peter Malick and his group are always outstanding, just add Nora and it becomes Magic !!
Do waste your money 
2007-03-08 - I really enjoy Norah Jones. This CD was so bad I still haven't listened to the whole CD. Who wants the listen to the same 5 songs preformed 5 different ways? Most of the remixes are hip hop, not really Norah Jones' style. The best part of this CD is the cover artwork. If I could I would give this CD 0 stars
Once Again???
2007-02-09 - Well, it seems that Peter Malick Group depends on this album to survive. It is the fourth album from the same stuffs. 2003, 2004, 2005, and now, 2007, bringing the same songs! But the electronic versions are not so bad, thanks to Norah Jones' beautifull and sweet voice.
