Editorial Review:
"The legend continues," writes the only remaining "real" Temptation Otis Williams in this CD's thank-you notes. There is little here besides his survival and the group name to connect this to the classic lineups' prodigious achievements, however. Phoenix Rising lived up to its title by becoming a hit in 1998, yet it sounds more like Babyface leftovers sung by Take 6 than anything deserving of carrying the once-mighty Tempts' handle. --Rickey Wright

Rating:  - Just like fine wine
After 5 decades there still standing strong this is my favorite group of all time. My favorite song on this cd is (this is my promise)If you never heard this song before play it one time & you'll be hooked the temps are just like fine wine.
Rating: - GREAT-GREAT-GREAT
I just got this cd a few weeks ago and i have played it every day. It is one of the Tempts greatest cd's. I know that is saying a lot, but this cd make you want to call a "rent a lover" just so you can have someone to snuggle up to, and share it with. I love this cd. Each of the songs just flows into the other, and to hear Otis come in with his sexy deep voice is just heavenly. All the songs on this cd is worth buying for your house and your car. If anyone is a Temptations fan in any form, this ... Read More
Rating: - They can still do it.
This is a refreshing new sound and direction for the Temptations. But as always, it's good as usual. Theo Peoples is great in the lead on " Stay " and yes it is him. I saw Theo recently singing lead for the Four Tops and at some point, near the end of one of the songs he was leading, he threw in a line from " This is my promise " . I was floored. It was at that point that I knew that it was him on all leads, where many of us thought it was Barrington "Bo " Henderson, on this incredible album. Having ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing because of their " HARMONIES"
This cd is tight because of it's harmonies, not just because of Theo Peoples. And contrary to what Rickey Wright had to say, this cd sounds like the Tempts, not like Take 6.He must not have heard "Everybody Needs Love"just listen to when The Tempts sing the part {Wanna Be Kissed} from Everybody Needs Love, it's sung in the same tone as {Let Me Be Your Man} from "Stay".And how the original Tempts harmonized on "The Way You Do The Things You Do" in those deep voices, repeating "The Way You Do The Things ...

Rating: - outstanding because of Theo
This is a wonderful CD due most in part
to the outstanding vocals of Theo Peoples
on Stay, This is My Promise, and If I Give You
My Heart. Although he is not credited on this
CD for his contributions his efforts should not
go unnoticed. He is my favorite Temptation and
now a member of the Four Tops. If you ever have
a chance to see him in concert don't pass it up.
