The selections range from pre-Frank material to the last song she ever recorded, all united by a distinctive rawness, her voice kept naked and slightly flawed, despite the sophisticated production

Rolling Stone
As always, Winehouse's singing is both raggedy and dramatic, winking and insouciant, full of high drama and a breezy sense of play – sometimes all those things at the same time

In the end, the best a posthumous album assembled in this way can offer is a welcome and dignified reminder of an artist’s abilities

Winehouse was an undeniably gifted singer and a unique talent. There are pieces of Lioness that reflect that clearly, and others that don’t do as good a job

Instead of adding anything concrete to her legacy, Lioness only reaffirms what we already knew about her, and hopefully why she deserves to be remembered as an artist rather than a media circus

Perhaps if more time, effort and thought had been spent on Lioness it could have attempted to measure up to her past glories rather than stinking of a Christmas cash-in

While Lioness is a far better posthumous collection than Michael Jackson's Michael, from almost exactly a year ago, it's a poor substitute for the high-octane musicality of Frank and Back To Black

In places, she slurs and murmurs, her vocal betraying the wear of her lifestyle; in others though, she connects, sounding strong, elated. Print edition only
