"Barry reaches pinnacle form with "If I Should Love Again." Schmaltzy? Forget it. The title track alone is worth the price of admission. Incredible production and arrangments. "If I Should Love Again," swelling and lush, is Barry's best single tune and most romantic album. I'm so glad to see it's on CD -- finally!"
Beautiful Music

"This is the album for those of us who love Barry as a musician as much as we love him as a singer. Many times we tend to forget that Manilow is first, and foremost, an arranger and musician and those talents shine through on this album. Songs such as "I Haven't Changed the Room," "Let's Take All Night to Say Goodbye," and the title track are masterfully done and showcase his musical talents!I would highly recommend this for any Manilow fan!"
Classic Manilow--romantic ballads and some beats

"Lush melodies and sophisticated arrangements in the tradition of 'Could it Be Magic' are the factors why this CD is one of Barry's best. 'Old Songs'/If I Should Love Again'/'Somewhere Down the Road'/'No Other Love' are classic Manilow ballads. Also contains an obscure gem: 'Fools Get Lucky'. Three cuts are beats. This is as good a value for your dollars as any of his greatest hits CDs, because even the non-hits in this CD are just as wonderful as the hits."
THE BEST BALLADS EVER

"This is my favorite Barry Manilow CD ever! Actually, I was so excited to FIND it on CD. I have this in album form (albums, what are those?) It has several scratches on it from over playing. I can't wait to hear these love songs once again, especially the title track, "If I Should Love Again". If you want to listen to pure love songs and Barry at his best, then this is the CD for you."
Some of Barry's best sh#@$^ ever !!!!!!!
