    [The second version of Just in Love is] a minor blip on an otherwise immensely entertaining and enjoyable pop record--inspired, tons of fun, and positioning Joe Jonas as a worthy successor to Justin.

    Fastlife largely favors the FutureSex--"I'm loving that frame," Joe drools on "Make You Mine"--yet it's the LoveSounds, as on gorgeous ballad "Sorry," that most impress.

    Jonas certainly can't match someone like Timberlake in terms of a defined aesthetic or presence, but at least he and his team had the smarts to enlist producers who know how to construct solid pop songs.

    I think this album was absolutely amazing! When I first heard that Joe was doing a solo album, I wasn't that excited because I didn't really like Nick's album that much. But Joe really took me by surprise with this record. Almost all the tracks on this are amazing, the only track I didn't like as much was Love Slayer. Great album and I hope to hear more from him :) Fav Tracks - Sorry, Make You Mine, Take It And Run, Just In Love (Remix), and All This Time.… Expand

    Sadly enough, beyond the two singles he released, I didn't like any of the other songs. They all seemed generic and over-processed. It was a true bummer to be because I was looking forward to some good catchy pop songs. His voice sounds good, the tracks aren't just that good though. Maybe his sophomore album will have a better producer.… Expand
