Editorial Review:
R. Kelly's third album indicates that he's got the range and the staying power of an R&B great. More importantly, it's the album where the libidinous stage persona of R. and his creator Robert finally come together, offering a glimpse of the man behind the libido. Kelly plays almost every instrument on the 16 tracks himself, delivering subtle variations of his laid-back rhythm and gently pulsing bass with lush walls of sound constructed from synthesized strings, keyboards and marimbas. At first listen, the melodies seem lazy and indistinct, but the hooks are sly and insidious, and they work their way into your subconscious. Kelly's voice is what keeps you coming back until they register. A sweet and supple instrument, it caresses the curves in the arrangements, stretching from a throaty whisper to an croon to a magnificent soaring wail. He's also made strides beyond the more misogynous impulses of the earlier records. Predecessors from Marvin Gaye to Prince have believed that there's nothing more spiritual than really great sex, and R. Kelly is makeout music that ranks with the very best. --Jim DeRogatis

Rating: - Probably One of His More Mature Albums
Like it may've already been stated in another review, "This is probably one R. Kelly's more mature work," especially considering this is after 12 Play, This is probably my favorite album by him, because as a whole, it's a real good album, not just a few major singles, then the rest my be just mediocre, I'll admit there were some that I wasn't really fawned of, but there were more pluses, than minuses. As many of us already know, probably the most popular song off of hear, and most played video, ... Read More

Rating: - NOBODY DOES IT BETTER
Who can make a CD better than Kells? This is an oldie but as with all of them its a goodie.....
Rating: - One of R.Kelly's best
I remember hearing this cd at the age of 12. My older sister had the album and I loved it then, but heard it with different ears. Now, I am no longer in my youth, but I am in my 20's and this cd still is one of my favourites! This has to be up there with 12 Play, another one of R.Kelly's good album's. He is still one of the leading rnb singers around. His voice is magic on this album and the songs...you can definitely relate to! My friend, who doesn't listen to much rnb, bought this cd also.
