NivBAug 16, 2005While it has it's moments, :The Way It Is" is a rather bland album. Keyhsia Cole suffers from what a lot of new artists go through: great vocals, amazing talent - but cliched productions and radio-friendly songs, rather than talent-proving songs and a use to a trademark voice.

Sadly, The Way It Is never quite lives up to the album it could have been.
-
Cole's voice is sweet and ringing, like a wiser version of Lil' Mo who has had to weather a tremendous amount of drama.

BlenderDry and straightforward disco-soul. [Jul 2005, p.116]
