  1. Although more upbeat than its predecessor, Vol. 2 requires some time spent listening. Those who do so will be richly rewarded.
  2. 80
    Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics is proof that not only can Arie step out of her comfort zone of relationships and self-appreciation, but she can jog up a few levels as well.
  3. The result feels like a lecture from the class goody-goody: instructive yet tedious.
