Review

Jodeci juggles new jack swing and vintage soul on their second album...The disc's love songs, particularly "Cry for You," "What About Us," and "My Heart Belongs to You," are tender, passionately sung, sincere expressions of romance and love. But then...there's a string of innuendo-laden come-on numbers, complete with explicit language, raps and samples... ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
