Amazon.co.uk review
The royalties must have seemed tempting at the time--hell, they still must--but it's got to feel galling to have written and recorded one of the genuinely great modern British soul songs, only to have it stolen from you and paraded in new bling from every speaker and screen. Anyone still under the impression that Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse cooked up the all-conquering "Valerie" themselves would be well advised to delve back into The Zutons' small but stocky back catalogue for further gems and trinkets. Of course, it's not all perfect--the fact that The Zutons are so very overcooked is both their appeal and their Achilles heel. There is generally too much in the way of cod-poetic sub-Beautiful South storytelling and bad jokes, too much throttled yelping, far too much saxophone and too little subtlety. But when the surplus is skimmed aside, what's left can form an indie-soul revue to knock your novelty socks off. Examples on You Can Do Anything include the hammering vocal back-and-forth of "Harder And Harder", the colourful, anthemic "Always Right Behind You" bouncing off Slade's bell-bottoms and the riff-heavy Mott The Hoople-esque "Family Of Leeches". They're still essentially The Coral in lounge suits, Gomez without the Americana infatuation, but they'll be having the last laugh: on this evidence, they're a good few years away from the cruise ship circuit. --James Berry

 Fantastic! July 4, 2008

I totally agree with all the reviews already written here. Yes after playing the previous album to death on our holiday and thinking how can they match this........they bleedin well have!
It did take 2-3 proper listens, but now I'm hailing this the best album of the year so far (well until Kings of Leon bring their next CD out in Sept!!)
I keep trying to force myself away from it in the fear of overplaying it. And when I play other music, I can't wait to get The Zutons back in my ears again.
Every track is a winner. Even the weaker ones have some form of brilliance at some point in the track.
Very catchy, brilliant, I recommend it to all.

Got this album on the day it was released and was tempted to post a review then. I would have given it three stars. I'm glad I waited, because now, for me, this is worth the full five stars. It's a great, no nonsense album full of wonderfully catchy tunes wrapped round some brillianty written lyrics that you'll find yourself singing/humming without even realising you're doing it. I'm probably in a minority among Zutons fans, but 'You Can Do Anything' is now my favourite of their three albums. If you enjoyed either of the previous two albums from this band, you'll love this one too.
Great stuff.

A breath of fresh air at first, then they seemed to rest on their laurels, but after listening again I ALMOST like it as much as their older stuff. Good album
You'll be hooked by third listen... June 11, 2008

This album is yet another fun, lively and ridiculous set of songs from the Zutons. (And I mean that in the best possible way!) Ranging from subjects such as a man having an affair with his maid all the way to the story of a male prostitute, and back again to someone trying to seek revenge; I thoroughly like this album and would recommend it to anyone.
Don't be afraid..... June 6, 2008

As most always happens when a band reaches the popularity level that The Zutons have reached, there will a number of people waiting to shoot the next album down in flames. Well here is that next album and there is no need to worry (if you actually worry about these sort of things!). It is a good album, simple as that. Stand out track for me is 'Give Me A Reason'. Buy with confidence.
