-
Half of the album finds the successful singer/actor making the kind of pop-inflected R&B once heard from En Vogue or SWV. Cool & Dre handled the bulk of the album's production, setting the star's vocals against head-nodding beats that come reasonably close to more youthful urban-radio fare.
-
60For all the pleasures, Latifah sounds too guarded.
-
Just about all of it is enjoyable, but not much of it sticks.
-
20This is an album that could have been recorded by any dance artist. There is very little of the personality that made Queen Latifah a star.
