Signed Sealed Delivered is the fifth studio album by British singer Craig David. It was the first and only album with Universal Motown. The album was released on March 29, 2010. The album mainly consists of covers. The two tracks of this album took samples from the Motown era and gave them a modern twist, as demonstrated by the first single from the album, "One More Lie (Standing in the Shadows)", which chorus samples The Four Tops' 1967 Motown classic "Standing in Shadow Love". The second is "All Alone Tonight (Stop, Look, Listen)" which exemplifies Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)". The only original song is the album's last song, "This Could Be Love".
Signed Sealed Delivered entered the UK Albums Chart at number 13. In January 2016, the album has sold 33,779 copies in the UK.

Reception
This album received negative criticism from the music critics. One of the few positive reviews came from The Guardian critic Carolinne Sullivan, who said that "Craig David's intention, on the cover of Motown-dominated album, is to" sing songs just like the original artist " he does reproduce every falsetto and hiccup The question is why this soul star who still agrees wants to make a karaoke record, This is a rum way to rekindle his career - he needs to recover the mojo as unbearable R & B song writer if he plans to return to the top of the charts ".
