Review

LeVert's second album started a run of hits that extended into the 1990s. They earned their first pop hit and second number one R&B single with "Casanova," while "My Forever Love" was a solid follow-up and excellent ballad. Gerald LeVert proved his mettle as a lead singer; although not as explosive as his father, he had a similar gift for communicating a lyric, and he teamed nicely with brother Sean LeVert and Marc Gordon on ballads. LeVert's singles weren't as anthemic as the O'Jays', but they were established hitmakers on the urban contemporary scene. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
