On It's Like This, eclectic folkie Rickie Lee Jones envelops standards, showtunes, '70s soul, and even slick jazz-rock, interpreting them with her familiar childlike, breathy shouts. In a very similar vein as 1991's Pop Pop, Jones pulls together a collection of diverse songs from throughout the 20th century and gives them a sparse, fragile spin, kind of like Diana Krall and Björk sharing coffee at an all-night diner. Several notable artists scatter themselves unobtrusively throughout the album like Joe Jackson, Ben Folds, John Pizzarelli, and Taj Mahal; each lend a subtle bassline or harmony vocal, cautiously not stepping on any of Jones' delicate lines. Jones' unmistakable style is unlike anyone else's, and that fact alone will turn away some potential listeners; however, for fans of gentle jazz-pop, It's Like This is an intimate, dreamy wander through the songbooks of the last century.

Rickie Lee Jones’s second all-covers release after 1991’s Pop Pop and her first for the Artemis label, It’s Like This was her highest-charting album on its release in 2000 since 1996’s Naked Songs. Note: the 1983 EP Girl at Her Volcano included a Jones original. In contrast with her previous release, the trip-hop influenced Ghostyhead, It’s Like This is marked by intimate, jazz-inflected arrangements for small combos, studded with guest appearances by Joe Jackson, Taj Mahal, Ben Folds, and John Pizzarelli
