    Sounding as pristine as usual tough love is a half effort follow up to the outstanding Devotion.

    What we find with Tough Love is an album just as conceptually focused as Devotion, yet too willing to waste Ware’s sophisticated emotionality on tracks with no depth or purpose to them.

    Gorgeous minimalist songs are punctuated by Prince-like synths and Ware's impressive vocal range. [Nov 2014, p.102]

    Pensive, silken R&B. [24 Oct 2014, p.63]
