    In the Top 2 Best R&B albums of 2010. Wonderful job by Ms. Sullivan. The standouts were "Holding You Down", "Don't Make Me Wait", "Excuse Me" and "U Get On My Nerves".

    This artist is quite underrated with some of the songs she makes. She has a unique voice and some of the songs showed a different style to her which i really like. Stand outs being 10 Seconds and Luv Back. Really good album.

    9-10 for me, excellent album, nice mix the Reggae vibe on some tracks is dope. No sophomore slum in this album, even better the Fearless which was also GREAT.

    it's obvious that is better than her last effort Fearless because her new album is plagued with catchy melodies, the resonant mix of genres and the distinctive voice of Jazmine, solid and at times really surprising like her power R&B-soul ballad 10 seconds, the sticky and pop Good Enough, the ingenious Holding You Down under the excellent production such as Missy Elliott in Excuse Me o Luvit's obvious that is better than her last effort Fearless because her new album is plagued with catchy melodies, the resonant mix of genres and the distinctive voice of Jazmine, solid and at times really surprising like her power R&B-soul ballad 10 seconds, the sticky and pop Good Enough, the ingenious Holding You Down under the excellent production such as Missy Elliott in Excuse Me o Luv Back! the great collaboration with Ne-Yo!!! In short the best R&B album of the year and a phenomenal growth of this girl genius urban music!!!… Expand

    Jazmine Sullivan is quite possibly the most unique vocalist in modern R&B, in sophomore effort, she gracefully avoids a sophomore slump with this intricately designed album. Sullivan's voice easily glides across strong melodies with some help from her mentor Missy Elliott. Overall? An easy A.

    Love Me Back is even better than Jazmine's solid debut album "Fearless". There's one or two songs I'm not really feeling, but other than that this is an amazing album. You have to listen to Love You Long Time, Stuttering, Famous, 10 Seconds and Holding You Down!

    The 23-year-old diva plays a little nicer, adhering to the Mary J. Blige school of gritty, nuanced hip-hop soul.

    Although overdoing the soulful melodrama doesn't beat overdoing the suave cool as decisively as the retro-nuevo believe, the songwriting here is a big extra difference maker, with enough pop moves to lighten the overall mood.
