  1. A work of engaging, pop-wise R&B.
  2. A late-album glut of so-so, mid-to-slow-tempo material like the Anthony Hamilton duet 'Losing You' and 'Work It Out' leaves you with a lesser impression than the disc probably deserves.

    Striken, sorrowful balladry is the meat of this fine album. [Feb 2008, p.102]

    The counterintuitive lushness smothers Cole's modest wail on cuts like'heaven Sent.' [28 Sep 2007, p.105]
  5. Keyshia Cole's street edge sets her apart from her polished R&B peers, but the Oakland, Calif., songstress could have used a good editor on her second album, which is bogged down by too many ballads and overly lush production.

    I love this album it is the best. Her style and voice is amazing. I like her music because she relates to every female. Especially I I love this album it is the best. Her style and voice is amazing. I like her music because she relates to every female. Especially I remember; she sings about all the heartache she went through and how it hurt her so much. She has stepped up from the first album. That is what I like about her music. Every song is better than the last song and album. Full Review »

    I loved the emotion this cd makes me feel. Listening to "Get my Heart Back" makes me think of all the times when I wanted to erase the past. I loved the emotion this cd makes me feel.
