On this gorgeously textured, rock-leaning 11-song set, it appears that Lennox and Stewart have rediscovered a joi de vivre that wasn't always present on their latter recordings as a duo. ... Sweet dreams are made of this, indeed.

Musically, the album is all over the place; delicate pop, guitar fueled rock, waves of packing vocals, even horns and strings. These dreamy, sophisticated songs - and that voice - are frequently ill served by the clutter.

[The album] finds Lennox belting out soaring vocals to Stewart's lush arrangements at times, although just as often their talents are wasted on vanilla song ideas. ... In the final analysis, "Peace" is exciting for what it promises in future releases. ... Hopefully, Lennox and Stewart will continue to fight the good fight.

before you know it Lennox and partner Dave Stewart have you completely under their spell. The lush, orchestral arrangements that cloak Peace occasionally smother it, but through it all Lennox's voice never fails to chill and the melodies deliver in spades.

this is one reunion that's not just going through the motions. ... With so many fine calibrations of volume, tone, timbre, and attack, [Lennox] can describe emotional shadings unavailable to most singers. It's a voice that can't be ignored or set in the background -- there's too much urgency in its pleas, too much fire in its contempt for the false and trivial.

Eurythmics' first new music in 10 years is confident and classy, and Annie Lennox's voice is untouched by time. Her steel-cool, muscle-rippling soul mannerisms and pristine enunciation sound like an old friend who's turned up at the door. Play Peace next to Be Yourself Tonight or Savage, though, and it's painfully apparent that something is missing. Eurythmics' old playfulness and wit, their willingness to shock (remember the icy freakout of "I Need A Man"?) and their creative abrasion are all gone.
