Here's a review from the New York Post. This critic got it wrong as far as what some of the songs are about, but he generally liked the album. He gave it 3 out of 4 stars.
CHRISTINE MCVIE: 'IN THE MEANTIME' By DAN AQUILANTE CHRISTINE MCVIE "In the Meantime" Koch Records When Fleetwood Mac last toured, singer/songwriter Christine McVie was missing in action, reportedly tired of making music and touring. Well, perhaps she was just tired of the group - because McVie has just crafted an eminently listenable disc of personal songs ranging from sturdy blues-rock ballads to breezy pop. Fleetwood Mac fans will easily hear that legendary band's influence in McVie's tunes - most notably in such songs as "So Sincere" and the funk-spiced "Liar." As for clues at to why McVie didn't return to her old gang, check out "Bad Journey" and "Sweet Revenge." It should also be noted that there's no sign of any help from her former bandmates anywhere on "In the Meantime." Last edited by macfan 57; 09-06-2004 at 06:08 AM.. |

Here's a pretty nice review from today's USA Today. In The Meantime got 3 out of 4 stars.
Christine McVie, In the Meantime (* * *) The breezy warmth and understated poignance of McVie's singing and songs helped lend structure and polish to the pop gems Fleetwood Mac released in the '70s and '80s. On her first solo outing in 20 years, she performs with her usual supple elegance, and also offers sassy, playful diversions such as Anything Is Possible and the buoyant Friend. There are a few tepid moments, but Meantime proves that an artist can age gracefully without losing her zest for life or art. —Elysa Gardner |

Finally a sound review!
I agree...Elysa Garnder's assessment is the most balanced and sensitive review I have seen yet. And USA Today has wide distribution, so hopefully people will see this instead of the ridiculous "review" from Findland and the vituperative (though well-written) one from Philly.
