"R.Kelly was at his best when he was still ridin' wit Public Announcement.
He's always out and on the radio kinda like Mariah Carey, so I think his talent and genius are sometimes taken for granted because of this.
I guess because this was R. Kelly's debut and New Jack Swing was on its way out, this album will always standout as his best to me ... well, 12-Play gives it a good run for its money.
But as far as I'm concerned, his LPs go down from this debut.
Buy this album, if for no other reason, just for the single "Honey Love"!!!!!!!! It's a 10-star song that'll get you "in the mood."
IF you haven't already heard this song from waaayyy back in the day, you've been deprived! This track is convincing proof they don't make music like they used to.
This track alone knocks any and everything by Usher, Babyface, Anthony Hamilton, Maxwell and John Legend out of the park."
This was a Major, Major R. Kelly Top Seller...

"...that means many people loved it when it was out and, when R. puts out a greatest hits CD, you will see a return to this (ie more sales) because THE PEOPLE loved it. (I dug it, too, in fact: especially the "Hey Love" remake and "Slow Dance".) Anybody can have a contrary opinion, too, and I can respect that. But I think, like all good things, and knowing how we all somewhat glorify our past experiences, time is gonna favor R.'s first music and we'll be savioring him in the future like we do Marvin Gaye or Earth Wind and Fire nowadays..."

"I really do love all of R.Kelly's music and no matter if he is singing alone or with someone else he knows how to make that song come alive. I like to listen to "Dedicated and Slow Dance.""

"I love this album. I know most people don't think much of R. Kelly's first album but I think it's great. My favorite songs are She's Loving Me, She's got the Vibe, Slow Dance, Dedicated, and Honey Love. You won't hear this type of music ever again and as an R. Kelly fan, I can appreciate this type of album."
King of R&B!!!!

"What will R&B be like without the R. This man has done it all. This CD sounds so good. Even though this CD came out in 91 or 92, it still sound vibrant as ever!!!"
