70It's almost the perfect R&B album; cool, sexy, inventive and suitably stylish throughout. All that's missing is a couple of killer singles.
-
70All in all, Milian's got a good thing going, despite a few lyrical hiccups, a couple of lackluster hooks, and some obvious influences.
-
67Unfortunately, she has also followed Ms. Knowles' lead in recording overly earnest, confessional ballads.
-
Milian's weakness remains ballads; the few that are here are more like placeholders that merely apply some forced variety to the album.
-
The beats and some sharp songwriting keep Milian's unremarkably airy voice from having to stand on its own. [18 May 2006, p.229]
-
60Though So Amazin' is ripe with sexuality, it's also a surface-dwelling effort devoid of any profound insights. [May 2006, p.137]
-
So Amazin' may not be the huge leap in artistic achievement she may have hoped for, but it is a step in the right direction.
-
Milian's limp attempt at a sassy, streets-friendly R&B sound simply lacks bite and believability. [19 May 2006, p.76]
-
50Though Milian often comes off as a third-rate Beyoncé, her feathery soprano captivates when her lyrics do not.
-
So Amazin' isn't quite pop and it isn't quite rebellion--it's straight-up high school.
-
40Nice, sure, but whatever happened to naughty. [Jun 2006, p.82]
-
The only personality displayed on So Amazin' is that of her contemporaries and predecessors.
