Because of You might end up being the best R&B album of the year.
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe album is an unmistakable attempt to channel [Michael] Jackson's early Quncy Jones-helmed LPs--and the effort often pays off beautifully. [27 Apr 2007, p.139]
-
The key to the album's potency and freshness is its differences from In My Own Words.
-
BlenderOne long, shameless come-on. [Jun 2007, p.107]
-
It's a little less immediate than the first album, but also takes Ne-Yo's case where it belongs: to the dance floor.
-
The young songwriter lacks enough artistic weirdness to follow in the deified footsteps of [Michael Jackson] or... Prince.
-
The album is almost identical to Ne-Yo's promising debut, last year's In My Own Words, but, while it starts off strong with the thumping yet melodic title track, nothing here matches the smooth pop of "So Sick" and "Sexy Love," and there are at least two other young stars out there doing the MJ thing better.
