Not extraordinary music, but music that hits the nail right on the head of what constitutes good R&B: flawless vocals, opulent harmonies, and easy, reliable melodies.

Q MagazineCorny soul pitfalls are navigated via satisfying hooks which erupt every time the four-part harmonies kick in. [Sep 2002, p.101]
-
BlenderThe gorgeous arrangements are still firmly in place, and the wavery vocals more earnest than ever. [#9, p.143]
-
The tightly harmonized ballads that once lent them maturity are now garishly produced and lyrically insipid.
-
The Philadelphia quartet continues to believe that barbershop harmonies, sugary ballads and New Jack Swing beats are where it's at. It ain't.
-
Rhyme schemes are frequently sophomoric, the production is already slightly dated, and the monotony of down-tempo songs is barely broken by cliched floor-stompers about Escalades and playa haters.
-
It's a shame that an album so impossible to dislike is equally impossible to remember later.
