Sep 3, 201380Love in the Future is among Legend's best work, made for couples who are into one another for the long term while feeling a little daring and crazy.
-
Sep 3, 201380All of Legend’s strengths are present: keen melodies, smooth vocal understatement, and artful arrangements.
-

Sep 12, 201360[The album] is not in the same league as his magnificent 2004 debut, Get Lifted. But Love In The Future, boasting production and writing credits by Kanye West, still has plenty of beautiful moments.
-
Sep 3, 201360At 16 tracks, the album moves surprisingly fast, with few songs outstaying their welcome, but it ultimately fails to successfully push Legend into the future.
-
Sep 3, 201350Legend is content to adopt a croonerific sound that doesn't challenge existing soul genre parameters in the least. That's fine, in theory, but rather yawn-worthy in execution.
