No, No, No is the debut album by Jamaican reggae singer Dawn Penn, released in 1994. The album was released nearly 30 years after Penn embarked on a recording career, following up the worldwide success of her single "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" in 1994. The album, however, was met with a modest chart success.
Critical reception
Alex Henderson from AllMusic complimented No, No, No as "a respectable, decent effort", remarking that songs like "I'll Do It Again" and "Samfi Boy" "has a strong urban contemporary flavor".[6]Everett True from Melody Maker viewed it as "[an] undemanding yet supremely satisfying album", praising the lead single, "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)", as well as "a gorgeous reading" of "I Want a Love I Can See" and "an uptempo" "The First Cut Is the Deepest".[3] Pete Stanton from Smash Hits named it Best New Album, writing, "Laid-back, lazing-on-a-beach type reggae, which does get slightly tedious after a while but has enough tummy jigglers like "Night and Day" and "Samfi Boy" to keep you going. Imagine a trendy grandma doing Bitty McLean type stuff and you'll know what's going on."[5]
