Cover Plus is the third album by English singer Hazel O'Connor, released in August 1981 by Albion Records.

[6] The cover artwork, by Edward Bell suggests O'Connor was moving away from the "peroxide punk look in favour of a more Bowie-esque style".

[8] The last single released was "That's Life", which was written in the style of Édith Piaf and is a song about having no regrets over a broken romance.

[6] The reissue's bonus tracks include "Time is Free", which was the B-side to the single release of "D-Days" from Sons and Lovers.

The next track, "White Room" was the B-side to "Cover Plus (We're All Grown Up)" and is softer and more folky, a style O'Connor would move into in later years.

On 'Cover Plus' this problem is compounded by her habit of picking on the most serious subjects and turning them into trite, often plain silly, observations with an added gloss of unconvincing melodrama.

By the same token 'Animal Farm (We Will Be Happy)' is a pointless treatment of George Orwell's celebrated political fable delivered in portentous tones that are insultingly empty.

"[12] Red Starr, reviewing for Smash Hits, wrote "No place for the sensitive this, as the utterly artless Hazel O'Nonotagain over-acts her way through another batch of spectacularly awful self-penned songs... plus a couple of equally hamfisted cover versions."

"[11] However, reviewing the album for Record Mirror, Simon Tebbutt was much more positive, writing that the songs are "about her own life and experiences but don't somehow smack of the self indulgence and introspection I've come to associate with some many "me" writers.
