Review

Stroke of Genius is separated from previous Gerald LeVert albums by its concept of painting your masterpiece with, yes, strokes of genius. Although such a slightly clever idea shouldn't be executed on a grand scale and some of the material here is underwhelming, LeVert still does convincing pillow talk and his voice is fine. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
