One of her best studio albums.
-
The Breakthrough is easily Blige’s finest full-length since ‘99’s Mary.
-
Ms. Blige brings together hip-hop realism and soul's higher aspirations, hip-hop's digitized crispness and soul's slow-building testimonies. [19 Dec 2005]

-

-
Someone get this woman some drama, pronto.
-
UrbAll in all, it seems like the diva needs a little drama to get it percolatin'. [Mar 2006, p.123]
