(Review from about.com, allmusic)

Tarja’s first album of original material, My Winter Storm has some similarities to Nightwish’s sound, but she branches out into several different styles.

Some songs are bombastic and symphonic with a heavier guitar sound. Others are very classical in sound and feel with a lot of strings and sparser arrangements. There are a few pop influences as well. Overall, the album is softer and more reflective than her previous work, which tends to be the case when lead singers leave niche bands to pursue solo stardom.

Tarja has a great voice, and belts out her trademark operatic vocals with power and emotion. She also dials it back and sings in a more traditional style at times.

“My Winter Storm” is a mixed bag, hampered by the compromise between her old and new styles.

This edition of the album has a bonus CD of alternate mixes, live recordings and “The Seer” EP.
