"Somebody get her out of hiding and bring her back! Her last CD was an underrated, overlooked release that was bangin' with slammin tunes. "Hungah," written by Jam and Lewis, is a funkified dance number that'll have your head bobbin' to the beat. Babyface is in top form in his song, "Can I Stay with You," and White also shines in the irresistible "Weakness." Why this woman faded into obscurity while pretenders Ashanti manage to sell millions of records is beyond me, but if you wanna dig deep and find a hidden treasure of an r&b album, this is it."
IN MY BOOK, THIS IS KARYN'S BEST ALBUM.

"Karyn White. What happened to her? This album is surely her best work yet. It's a shame she fell off the music scene though. This is my favorite Karyn White album out of the three."
Karyn White = Underrated R&B Diva

"Observers can say that Karyn White never reached her potential after her debut album. Although sales of her records dipped with her last two albums, Karyn stays true to herself and delivers a sweet & sensual album that focuses on love & relationships. Romantic tracks such as "Can I Stay With You," and "I'm Your Woman," evoke Karyn's jump from late '80s dance pop diva to one of the most influential contemporary R&B singers of our generation. Other standout tracks include the heartfelt ballad, "Here Comes The Pain Again," and "I'd Rather Be Alone," which both address the issues of domestic violence and female independence. Spending time listening to every song on this album will make you realize that Karyn White did the most right."

"This album is simply hot. No filler, just hot uptempo tracks and hard ballads. It's definitely Karyn's best work. I still listen to this album like it just came out yesterday. The ballads are some of the hottest joints by any female artist from the past or present. My favorite is Thinkin' Bout Love. Karyn just croons on that one. If you don't get this album, you must be 'Crazy, Crazy, Crazy'"
An Overlooked Gem

"In the late 80's, Karyn White rocketed to stardom with a blockbuster debut album that featured a run of 4 top ten singles (THE WAY YOU LOVE ME, SECRET RENDEZVOUS, LOVE SAW IT and SUPERWOMAN, her signature song). She had another #1 single with 1991's ROMANTIC, but her momentum slowed after that.In 1995, White returned with MAKE HIM DO RIGHT. The music landscape had changed greatly, and for the most part this album went largely unnoticed. Shame, because it turns out this was her best effort yet. While nothing shines quite like THE WAY YOU LOVE ME or SUPERWOMAN, the album as a whole was an excellent set of consistently good songs. Standout tracks included I'D RATHER BE ALONE, HUNGAH, HERE COMES THE PAIN AGAIN, ONE MINUTE and the beautiful CAN I STAY WITH YOU (which became her final top ten single). MAKE HIM DO RIGHT definitely has a more mature feel than her previous work, which, coupled with the long absence, may have worked against it; but to be heard today, it is actually a benefit. Sleek and smooth, MAKE HIM DO RIGHT deserves a reassessment by R&B enthusiasts."
