    Amerie's heat is irresistible, in large part because it's subtle. [Jun 2005, p.108]

    Amerie is all grown up on her second effort. And in this case, growth is good.

    Best r&b album of 2005. And yes, there are plenty of songs here as good as "1 thing" (in fact, there are several songs better than "1 thing").

    Much better than her first as this album delivered some great hits! It's slick R&B at its best with a nice range of tracks, that might sound similar but as a whole come together nicely. 1 Thing was the obvious smash hit and a highlight on the album.… Expand

    Quite possibly the least exciting or innovative album I have ever bought. I'm sure even High School Musical 2 soundtrack had more charisma. I don't recall any of the song titles except the title track and the tedious 1 thing. Completely forgettable.… Expand
