Maxwell is the epitome of Neo-soul. Very suave is this LP, proving the past legend who layed the foundation left room for continuance. He brings soul into today's times by way of melodic grace.

It will be Contemporary R&B classic.

Maxwell is an amazing artist, performer and visionary. I have been a fan from the beginning. This album is a great comeback album that i know everyone will enjoy.

I am truley glad I got out of bed & went to walmart to get this long awaited release. 1 word is all I can think of......beautiful.

His best one yet, so his long hiatus is forgiven. And allthough he still wears his influences (Al Green, Prince) on his sleave, I guess the best way to describe this record is as the R n B equivalent of Jeff Buckley's Grace.

The devil is in the details and this album is ALL about the details. A mature, concise, emotionally delicate and beautifully crafted album sung with remarkable grace. Does anyone else think that "Cold" is a virtual master class in musical composition? Kudos to the band, all I can say about you is DAMN, blistering brass section and wicked percussions.

Brilliant, wonderful and delightly entertaining.

Excellent. This is his best so far, to me. The songs are not catchy but so well executed. No filler.

Great album. emotions flow and intertwine with his great voice. Amizing artist who provided great soul album this year.

Rubbish.

This is what John Legend thinks he makes, but doesn't. What Prince would like to make, but can't anymore. What Marvin Gaye would have made. Maxwell proves he is the king of nu soul.

I love this cd, can't stop listening to it.. Love his voice. Thank you maxwell.

What R&B is supposed to sound like from an amazingly talented artist.

When all the artists of today all sound a like and are totally 'cookie cutter' with catchy beats and no substance. I am thrilled that Maxwell is back. The album is right on time!

Maxwell's voice is so deep and mature, the sound is so human and returns the listener an open heart feeling. Music that catches immediately, but with a long lasting flavour. An instant classic.

This album was worth the wait. These days the public are forced to listen to music with no story, lyrics with no meaning and voices with no soul. Maxwell has definitely given us 'real music'. Music that will be remembered and appreciated for a long time.

I cannot stop listening to this cd. I opened this with a bit of caution but was greeted with an album full of great vocals ,adult writing and a drummer who should get all the kudos available he makes this cd swing.

This cd is a well executed release. Nobody is better at groove sessions than Maxwell.

No hooks, no catchy songs, it's true. Just deep, layered and well-crafted soul of the kind that just doesn't get made anymore. One or two more songs and I'd have given it a 10. Beautiful.
