Review

A curious compilation of lite-jazz and quiet storm favorites, Smooth Sounds is all over the musical map -- alongside more predictable inclusions like George Benson's "Breezin'" and Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" are oddball selections like the themes to Seinfeld and St. Elsewhere. A real grab bag. ~ Raymond McKinney, All Music Guide
