Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.7/100, a mean average of 80.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

I can see this growing into my favorite Joni Mitchell album. She wears soft rock really well without sacrificing any of her idiosyncrasies. Not totally sure about its bluesier tail-end (although "Trouble Child" is great), but everything up to that point is fantastic.
Great record
This album is getting worse by the end, but overall it is great and comparable to Blue.
a strong strong compilation of personal songs production very good further proof of her legendary status. folk-pop

Front-heavy, but enjoyable throughout.

A beleza desse álbum não me pegou de primeira. Mas ouvindo de novo percebo o lindo violão, as melodias maravilhosas, um brilho em cada canção. Folk Rock, Soft Rock, Jazz Fusion, muitas coisas, mas sem perder a coerência.

This album along with Blue are masterpieces. Joni is an exceptional songwriter.
Favorite Tracks:Raised On Robbery, Trouble Child
It is one of her best albums,and possible the album along with hissing of the summer lawns that is pop/jazz orientated .

Court and Spark is a perfect blend of pop , folk and light jazz a collection of tracks to rival the much heralded 'Blue'
A stunner from beginning to end this album is a pinnacle of Joni's career
