    "You can't tell a broke man that money means nothing." This line from the intro perfectly summarizes this album, and also Ne-Yo himself as an artist. Lol, he was probably my favorite R&B singer for a while, and now I could not even finish listening half of the album

    Ow. Seriously.
    Aural torture really. Glad I didn't buy it - that was the girlfriend.
    She's nearly an ex after making me listen to this!
    I'm sure his next album will be super awesome though!

    There are strong cameos from assorted MCs, particularly Juicy J and Schoolboy Q, but his attempt to talk a girlfriend into a threesome on Story Time is proof there are even worse things in life than dabbling in Eurodance. [Apr 2015, p.108]

    While not setting the world on fire, it nestles its way warmly into your heart, soul and dancing feet.

    The contrast between the rough and Ne-Yo’s ultra-smoothness only adds to his appeal.
