    Simply put: meh. One song was really great (All Of Me), and some were ok. Like I've read from other reviews, it's sappy and could use a bit more energy in most sounds. I would need to give it another good listen before setting my judgement into sand, but John Legend is not up my alley.

    It's a hit-and-miss affair. [Oct 2013, p.105]

    John Legend captures the intimacy of the R&B genre without sacrificing the core music, which keeps it interesting for everyone.

    [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.
