My Way is the seventh studio album by Jamaican recording artist Lady Saw. The album featured guest artists such as Eve, Camar Doyles, & Ding Dong. A duet with Ali Campbell on "I Do Love You" was recorded for the album, but not included on the final track listing.
Reception
AllMusic gave the album 4/5 stars and a positive review:
"My Way is the rock solid proof as Saw offers a dizzying mix of hard sex and girl power over backing tracks that run the gamut. Anyone familiar with reggae singer Gyptian’s mega-hit “Hold You” will recognize the chilled riddim underneath Saw’s great answer song “Me Hold You,” but if you want furious, jump to the wild highlight “Tighta” which utilizes the over-the-top “Cosa Nostra” riddim for controlled chaos" "While the X-rated elements of My Way can’t be oversold, it is important to note that the versatile Saw is able to adjust from porno to political to personal like Prince in his early days. Highly recommended, just have your ID ready"
— AllMusic
Reggae Vibes fans gave the album a rating of "Very Good", with the accompanying review by the website stating:
"Produced with the intention to reach a wider audience, it's obvious that this brand new 15 track album has to be something of a mixed bag. And indeed it is, both musically and lyrically spoken. Of course, she remains true to her sexually empowering, cheeky lyricism on tracks such as "Tighta", "Muscle Control", "Me Hold Yuh" and "5 Minutes", but it's just not as over the top as we are used to." "The songstress, deejay, producer and writer makes clear that she's still the "Queen of Dancehall", but she also shows that the hardcore style that brought her fame isn't the only thing she's relying on in these days."
— Reggae Vibes
