I love it. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I was so exited to hear her new single. I loved this right on the spot! Beautiful World is very inspiring and the name fits the song very well. I absolutely loved Kiss & Cry. As you all know, it does have samples from Hotel Lobby. If you listen closely, you can tell. There was a little catch to this one - it has an ad for Nissin Cup Noodle right in the lyrics! Normally I would be downright disgusted by this, it's selling out to businesses... in the worst way ever. But Nissin noodles are quite good.

Pretty Decent Stuff!! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
After the successful 'Flavor of Life' single, Utada Hikaru has a lot to live up to on the next one: 'Beautiful World / Kiss & Cry'.

Personally, I think she succeeded. The song 'Beautiful World' has become one of my favourites for her. It's kinda up-beat, which I take a liking to, and the vocals make really get into the song, well for me anyways.

Kiss & Cry is decent song with unexpected beat and opening that reminds one of Utada Hikaru during her 'Automatic' days. The samples from 'Hotel Lobbey' are good and make the song quite catchy.

'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' is something a little extra to the single, which is good. The song is in complete English, which is a little different, but it also has a nice little a beat to it you can tap to.

The downsides of the singles is what other people have mentioned; it's nothing amazingly new. After a while the songs feel like past songs. However, it isn't so bad as the songs that they are similar to are pretty goodl; ('Beautiful World' is similar to 'This Is Love'). Also, the song 'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' has nothing new do it, making it feel unnecessary.

Overall:
This is a good single. I think it's worth a buy as some of the songs have the potential to become favourites. However, they do give off the feeling that you may have heard it before.

lalala~ it's a Beautiful World Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
ok, this single is AMAZING. All the songs are great (I fell in love with Fly Me To The Moon).

Beautiful World - this is something that I haven't really heard before. I love it.
Kiss & Cry - Hikki used samples of 'Hotel Lobby' in this song, but I can't hear it >< either way this is a great song.
Fly Me To The Moon - something about this remix, draws me to it. I don't know what, but it's simply amazing.

Overall, this single is worth buying (i'm gonna buy it when I'm in Japan ^^)

not that fresh... Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
At first, i was excited to listen to hikki new songs...I thought it would be great and fresh as songs in her album ultrablue. After listened to Beautiful World and Kiss&Cry, I was quite dissapointed because those songs were not like what I expected. Like what Sakura-san wrote in the review, ''Beautiful World'' is a nice song with a nice upbeat, but gives me the feeling of the ''already listened''. I think both songs are hydbrid of hikki's other songs and other western pop songs. Especially 'Kiss & Cry' which is a hydbrid of 'Hotel Lobby' and 'Paint it Black'.

Best single of 2007 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Hikki really suprised me with this. Flavor of Life was okay for me, but Beautiful World blowed my mind. t's really beautiful & upbeat yet sad song. It's too NGE newest movies theme song (I love NGE)! It fits perfectly for new NGE movie ^^ others in the single were also quite good. Kiss & Cry took time to grow, but now I really like it! I actually like Fly me to the moon -2007 mix- more than the original Hikki ver. I highly recomend this single to everyone! SUPPORT HIKKI!

I want the old Hikki back ... Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
''Beautiful World'' is a nice song with a nice upbeat, but gives me the feeling of the ''already listened'', it's a mix between Flavor of Life -Original Version- and This Is Love. Kiss & Cry is enjoyable but really boring, the new version of ''Fly Me To The Moon'' is the same of the old one, I don't know why it's called 2007 version when there is nothing new. I don't find anything special in this single to buy it. I want again from Hikki songs like ''Wait & See'' or ''Can You Keep a Secret ?''.

Funky Fresh Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Utada Hikaru is back with another (soon-to-be) HIT single! This is a very original release with promising tracks. You will enjoy this immensely as Miss Utada always pleases. This single is just as good or some would say BETTER than "Flavor Of Life"! This wonderful single will have you wanting more of Hikaru. Both "Beautiful World" and "Kiss & Cry" are soon to become fan favorites! If you spend your money on anything, let it be this single. I must say "Kiss & Cry" is one of her best upbeat songs EVER! Vocals are top-notch too!

Buy & enjoy! GREATLY RECOMMENDED+++++
