"This was a good album, but to be honest I bought it because I am a Luther Vandross album collector and I had to have it for my collection. For the individual who has no idea who Luther is and just wants to hear his hits, should not buy this album as an introduction to Luther. Instead buy " The Best Of Luther Vandross:The best of love" you will most likely get what you are looking for. For the avid collector like myself, you have to buy this album for, "Don't you know that", b/c you probably already have all of the other titles on one of your other five Luther CDs."
ONE OF THE CROWNING ALBUMS OF ALL TIMES!!!!!.

"MR LUTHER VANDROSS is my absolute favourite male vocalist and this stunning album is one of my main ones. Luther is such a perfectionist and that's evident in every song he does,whether it's a cover version or an original, he makes each song is very own!!his creamy barytone voice, such a caress,his arrangements make his songs a true standout!!.
This awesome program blasts off with the mesmerising "NEVER TOO MUCH".I've been loving this piece for over 20 years now!!.Next is "SUGAR AND SPICE" a real lively cut.Then comes the mellow "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?", a real smooth song. "I'VE BEEN WORKING" and "SHE'S A SUPER LADY" is as bouncy as they are unique. Now here comes sadness, pain and gloom as only LUTHER can deliver,in "YOU STOPPED LOVING ME", he sounded as if he's going to pass out from rejection!!. In his cover of "A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME", i can't help but wonder if this is a personal experience of LUTHER.The hearthache and the regret is tangible!! so sad and so sweet is this song. I know that this song, this album is a true classic!!. An album by which others can be judged!. A worthy addition to any R&B collection!!!."
