  1. Her deep, warm voice now has a scratchy, evocative edge that suggests maturity and the high price that often comes with it.
  2. Brandy gets an A+ for effort, even if Full Moon falls slightly short of that grade.

    A work that displays more forward-thinking musical maturity than any diva in her league. May 2002, p.72]
  4. 60
    A throbbing pop record of schizophrenic highs and lows as hyper-kinetic as its beats.
  5. Uncut

    After a sequence of fierce, squelching avant-R&B, Jerkins makes his excuses and leaves Brandy with some old hacks and their dispiriting, saccharine ballads. [May 2002, p.89]
  6. Brandy is on fine form throughout, purring pillow talk and murmuring sweet nothings to anyone insane enough to listen. Now she loves him, now she doesn't. Really, it's too much.
  7. Frantic, faceless, fake-sexy R&B.

    Whew! It is now 2022 and I still can listen to this album without skipping a single track. It was rare in 2002 and especially rare now a days.Whew! It is now 2022 and I still can listen to this album without skipping a single track. It was rare in 2002 and especially rare now a days. Wish Brandy would’ve gotten her full flowers for this album when it came out but it seems like it’s a sleepy masterpiece kinda. The vocals, the background vocals, the way she stacks and layers them…..whew! My favorites on here are (4, 6, 12, 13 and 16). A must listen. Expand

    Full Moon is definitely the best Brandy album. I can't understand why some people say there is a lot of slow material. The only Full Moon is definitely the best Brandy album. I can't understand why some people say there is a lot of slow material. The only low-tempo material is: WHEN YOU TOUCH ME, LIKE THIS, HE IS, COME A LITTLE CLOSE, AND LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT. WHEN YOU TOUCH ME, COME A LITTLE CLOSE, and LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT are excellent, and I can listen to LOVE WOULDN'T COUNT ME OUT forever, it in my opinion, is the best song on the whole c.d. I love the up-tempo stuff too. The only thing I don't appreciate on this album is that there are pro-tools used on this album, but only on the up-tempos, the ballads however aren't pro-tooled, which is really good because that is when she really has to show her vocals. My favorite up-tempos are All in Me (I especially like how she raps at the end), It's Not Worth It, What About Us?, and the mid tempos Wow and Full Moon. Expand
