  1. Masterful blends of R&B, jazz and gospel accented by soulful harmonies.
  2. This is a worthy return, qualitatively standing head and shoulders above most everything else in its class.

    This CD is what Anita Baker fans have been waiting for. With so few real singers on the charts. Anita shows them how it should be done.

    I haven't put on her albums in years, but this made me want to - surprisingly strong work & her best since Compositions, quite a bit I haven't put on her albums in years, but this made me want to - surprisingly strong work & her best since Compositions, quite a bit better than Rhythm of Love. Like reuniting with an old friend, and she's as good as ever. Now if only she would finally stop singing "baby" so much - how about "honey" once in a while instead? Snookums? Possum? Bubelah? Expand
