Mr. Jones is the 35th studio album by Welsh musician Tom Jones. It was released by V2 Records on 10 December 2002.
AllMusic editor William Ruhlmann rated the album three and a half out of five stars. He found that "Jones has never minded being the mouthpiece of a producer or two, confident enough in his own persona to stretch to meet different styles. Here, he collaborates with his partners, co-writing many of the songs. And the trio isn't afraid to take on the Jones' legend directly [...] Along with Jean and Duplessis, Jones seems to realize that the key to reinventing himself is to evoke his heyday and set it to contemporary beats." In a negative review of the album, Dorian Lynskey from The Guardian wrote: "It's not that Wyclef isn't a capable pop-rap producer, nor that Jones doesn't still have a gutsy soul voice. It's simply that the twain should never have met."
All tracks produced by Jerry Duplessis and Wyclef Jean.
