    I simply love this song, and for me it is one of the best of Babyface that I've ever heard before. Today in the taxi The driver played it once and I asked him to play over and over untill I'll get off his car...

    Babyface is the best male R&B songwriter/producer/singer. He is so creative and has the most talent out of anyone in the business. His recent album, Grown and Sexy brings back the R&B that has been missing in this generation. Every song is great, and I never get sick of listening to the album. I could listen to it over and over again. He is a remarkable man and he will continue to succeed Babyface is the best male R&B songwriter/producer/singer.

He is irreplaceable and number 1!… Expand

    This album is one of his best. It's just a shame that most people are too overwrought with recycled beats and only listen to the crap that MTV tells you to listen to. You want an honest, creative, and love-driven album? Then Grown & Sexy is the album for you. Buy this album, hell...buy it more than once...

    Those who were left disappointed by ['Face2Face'] will probably be happy to have the Face of old back with Grown & Sexy, a back-to-basics album that sounds a lot more natural in comparison.

    If there's one thing the R&B phenomenon demonstrates on Grown & Sexy, is that growing up is sexy.

    A pleasing collection of midtempo songs and ballads brushed with, but not obscured by, a contemporary sheen. [30 Jul 2005]
