I think this is a question of expectations.
I expected typical Christine pop/rock for grown ups and that's what I got. The bonus was the voice which to me sounds better than ever.
I have to admit I had to listen to it a couple of times before I really started to like it. For Christine I was prepared to make the effort.
On the other hand I have only listened to Stevie's Trouble in Shangri La once because there wasn't enough in it to make me put it on again. For Stevie I wasn't prepared to make the effort.
As for Mick and John I didn't even buy the albums!
I still play ITM although not as much as I used to. I think it's a very honest piece of work and I like it more than her 1984 solo album.
