Just Like You shows and proves unquestionably that Cole’s capable of some seriously rich, powerful art.
-
This stands as a very good album by Keyshia Cole, also the point where Cole's voice grows from an occasionally powerful emotive device into a versatile instrument.
-
Keyshia Cole proves for a second time--for sure and way beyond the shadow of a doubt--that she's headed for Mary J. Blige-style hugeness.
-
You can't deny the pleasure of finding a ride-or-die chick who's vulnerable, but can still kick your trifling ass.
-
Throughout, Cole leaves behind her staple vibrato, which is refreshing.
-
The new songs can’t help but sound rather mild, and maybe even constricting.... Still, this is a likable and well-sung album.
-
A work of engaging, pop-wise R&B.
-
A late-album glut of so-so, mid-to-slow-tempo material like the Anthony Hamilton duet 'Losing You' and 'Work It Out' leaves you with a lesser impression than the disc probably deserves.

MojoStriken, sorrowful balladry is the meat of this fine album. [Feb 2008, p.102]
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe counterintuitive lushness smothers Cole's modest wail on cuts like'heaven Sent.' [28 Sep 2007, p.105]
-
Keyshia Cole's street edge sets her apart from her polished R&B peers, but the Oakland, Calif., songstress could have used a good editor on her second album, which is bogged down by too many ballads and overly lush production.
