Nov 22, 2011One of the best R&B albums of the year. It's a classic. MJB sings her heart out on every track. Great collaborations with Beyonce, Rick Ross, Nas, Drake, Brook Lynn, and actress Taraji P. Henson. Great introduction with Diddy. Overall, My Life II is one of my favorite albums of the year.

Nov 22, 2011The second best R&B album this year after Beyoncé's 4. Mary proves that you can stay true to her roots and make great music successfully. Well done, recommended.

Dec 9, 2013This Album to me, Mary showed a little from all her past albums. On a upward note! This Cd will move you an pull you in. Very hot album to have hip-hop soul at it's best.

Dec 15, 2011Truly, this is more of an extension than a sequel, with Blige showing once more that she can go from tripped-out, beat-heavy tracks to earnest love songs in a moment, and that "moment" is something she inhabits achingly well.

Dec 9, 2011My Life II, despite its flaws, is an immensely enjoyable and impressive album. The four song, mid-album set of soulful R&B, featuring both her new single "25/8" and a cover of Chaka Kahn's "Ain't Nobody" is pure pleasure for the ear, unfiltered stimulation for the body, and mood enhancer for the heart. The closing trio of ballads, including "Need Someone" and the soundtrack single from The Help, "The Living Proof" demonstrate the singer's ability to capture the magnificent mysteries of adult emotion in her vocal phrasing.

Dec 6, 2011I don't think My Life II in and of itself will go down as one of Mary's best albums; for all its quality it just doesn't have the focus and vision of a classic and occasionally seems to pander to the hot house/techno/club trend.
