Yet another great review for Trisha, found at Billboard.com today:
Be prepared! Upon first listen, this compelling ballad is so stunningly beautiful, it's likely to take your breath. Written by Karyn Rochelle and Tommy Lee James, it's the simple story of two lovers running into each other after a breakup and the flood of emotions that chance encounter generates. "You're smilin' that smile you get when you're nervous, like you don't quite know what to do, but this is me you're talking to," Yearwood sings in the first verse. As all the hurt and heartache bubble to the surface, her brilliant delivery makes the pain in the words palpable. She has always had a gift for conveying every nuance of emotion in a great lyric, and this performance is among the most powerful in Yearwood's celebrated career. When an amazing song and an incredible vocalist come together, it creates an undeniable magic. This is nothing less than a modern classic. —Deborah Evans Price

I couldn't agree more. Probably my favorite song on the whole CD. Just brilliant and breath taking and perfect.

Trisha Yearwood's 'This Is Me You're Talking To' is an instant classic!

If, as I suspect, there's a rule somewhere in the music business that artists can't make classic heartbreak ballads the way they used to, then Trisha Yearwood is the exception. (Sorry, Fergie, your use of "Uno cards" in "Big Girls Don't Cry" makes you ineligible for such kudos.)
Yearwood's latest, "This Is Me You're Talking To" is the musical equivalent of getting hit in the torso with a bag of oranges. Your friends and coworkers won't be able to see the bruises, but listen to it once, and you'll be hurting for the rest of the day. And I mean that as the highest possible praise.
Every word from Yearwood's mouth falls like another teardrop into a glass of gin: "Me, the one who really knows you/Me, the one whose heart you've broken/Me, the one who wants to hope/That you might be missing me." If "This Is Me..." doesn't achieve the crossover success of Yearwood's ubiquitous "How Do I Live," I say we take it to the streets and protest against the evils of corporate consolidation in the radio business. Who's with me?
