Allmusic editor Jon O'Brien found that the album "appears to have jumped on the ubiquitous '80s revival bandwagon [echoing] the classy soul balladry of Anita Baker, the synth-heavy funk of Alexander O'Neal, and the acid-jazz leanings of early Brand New Heavies. It's a change in direction which, unlike her recent output, feels like a natural progression, its authentic groove-fueled production, thankfully free of Auto-Tune, allowing Knight's effortlessly smooth and expressive vocals to shine." In his review for BBC, critic David Quantick commented that "the title track, which is a full on Anita Baker croon tune, is predicated not on a lot of timbales sprinkling about over some nice chords, but an ambient ripple running under it like Brian Eno leaving his bath taps running."https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/gnqv BBC Review BBC 10 September 2011 Mayer Nassim from Digital Spy remarked that "the deep soul of the title track is the best thing here, evoking the likes of Bobby Womack with its classic dynamics that perfectly match Knight's impressive vocals. 'Bare' is another highlight, a stripped down Whitney-esque torch ballad that frames what is still one of the best voices in British music."http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a176252/beverley-knight-100-percent.html Digital Spy Review Digital Spy 7 September 2009 10 September 2011 A mixed review came from Andy Welch of The Telegraph who wrote that "at once vintage-Atlantic-soul-sounding yet defiantly British, her nickname as the UK's Queen of Soul couldn't be more apt. Despite this, she's never really had the material her vocal talent should have. On this, her sixth studio album, nothing has changed."Welch Andy http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music/reviews/beverley-knight100hurricane-records-14500068.html Telegraph Review The Belfast Telegraph 18 September 2009 10 September 2011 However, Serena Kutchinsky of The London Paper rated 100% two stars while commenting that "yes, Knight has a syrupy smooth voice which is used to full effect on tracks such as 'Beautiful Night,' but the dearth of catchy pop hooks and too much schmaltzy gospel render of it little more than pseudo-soulful tripe."London Paper Review May 2016 medicmedic Track listing 100% – Standard edition Producer(s) 50:46 Beautiful Night Knight Amanda Ghost Ian Dench James Dring Jody Street The Rural 4:12 Breakout Knight DJ Munro Dex Nicholson DJ Munro DC Joseph 3:30 In Your Shoes Knight Munro Nicholson Edwyn Collins DJ Munro DC Joseph 3:07 100% Knight Guy Chambers Kevin Bacon Jonathan Quarmby 4:04 Every Step Knight James Harris III Terry Lewis Bobby Ross Avila Issiah J.
