"Please don't get me wrong, I love hip-hop music, but not the same thing over and over and over and over again which typifies Black music today. Then comes artists like Tevin Campbell who take a deep breath and follow their gut feelings for a change by doing something different rather then seeking out the Missy Eliotts, Puff Daddys, and Babyfaces to make them sound like everybody else. Tevin sings the way that he likes to sing. Songs like "Another Day" and "Never Again" bop and swing with simple, yet sufficient music and not with the super-slickness that makes most R&B/hip-hop music nowadays look like plain tasting cake smothered by a pound of tasty icing. This fellow sings(like Luther Vandross does), he does not warble or put on a vocal gymnastic expose(like Sisqo of Dru Hill or Tyrese) to cover up bad song writing. Actually, the list of no-name songwriters and producers deliver a great set for Tevin to beautify. Classy stuff like "Losin' All Control", "For Your Love", "Dandelion", and the lovely "Since I Lost You" express warm, tender, wholesome love, not the permiscuous, booty-call stuff that populates most radio stations. Check this album out, if you like to sit back and listen to some real, traditional Rhythm & Blues. Keep up the good work, Mr. Campbell!"

"Tevin Campbell, ever since he came out in the early 90's..I found him attrative at first by his cute looks......but then, since I had actually sat down & listen to his music & the words he had said, I feel in love with him & his music...it's like every word in his music I understood....and whenever I had troubles with my relationships.. I go & listen to his music & there would always be a song on his album that knew exactly what I was going through..his music reflects my past relationship....as well as my present relationship. Everytime I listen to Tevin, he always makes me smile with his soothing voice. I've been Tevin's #1 fan ever since he was little T.....and I want to congratulate tevin on his new album it is the best ...he keeps getting better & better everytime.....his music has matured more & so has Tevin, himself......Tevin...keep doin' doin' your thing boy..don't you ever stop making music ya heard :o) .....Tevin ..I love you..from your #1 fan for life..I rate your new CD more than 5 star I rate it 20 stars dammit...DeniLee a.k.a LeeLee"

"THis Cat Has Real Talent.I Remember Seeing Him Starting Out with Quincy Jones then with Prince.Well He has Grown Up into a True Vocalist.He is Better than Many of His Peers Stacked Together.Don't throw Your Life away is the Cut.With the Aretha Like Background Vocals.He has Feeling in His Music.He is still WOrking with nareda Michael Walden on this Disc.When You Hear that Quincy jones,Babyface,Prince,Michael Jackson,Nareda Michael Walden,JAM&Lewis have all Worked with Him then You He is Talented but Talent isn't What's Important Anymore For if it were This Cat Would Be Big Time.He sings Plays Piano on here as well.He Can Sing Period How Many Folks In His Age Range Can you Say that About&Up?"
A Standing Ovation for Tevin

"Like Tony from Washington, I cheer him completely on with his review of this CD by Tevin :) This is truly a remarkable CD and you hear the growth and the maturity that Tevin sings from his inner soul. This truly is a CD you must add to your collection, and what stands out for me most in this CD is the orginality of it, (not a bunch of sampling), but music where they really sat down and took time to write. If you are searching for a sound, that is a sound of its own, this is the CD you need to purchase and sit back and enjoy the evening with Tevin."
IN A MELLOW WAY...

"TEVIN CAMPBELL CAME BACK RIGHT THIS TIME,HIS VOICE HAS MATURED INTO A POWERFUL FORCE ON THIS PROJECT.THE PRODUCTION IS CONSISTANT,UNLIKE THE BACK TO THE WORLD PROJECT, WHICH WAS HIS LAST RELEASE. YOU CAN TELL HE HAS BETTER CONTROLWITH HIS VOICE THAN BEFORE. THE PRODUCTION SEEMS LIKE IT IS TAILOR MADE TO HIS VOICE THIS TIME AROUND, SOMEWHAT REMINISCENT OF THE I'M READY CD. WHICH TO ME IS HIS BEST CD BY FAR. DON'T GET ME WRONG THE LATEST CD IS REALLY NICE ALSO. MY FAVORITE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS,FOR YOUR LOVE,ANOTHER WAY,SINCE I LOST YOU,LOSING ALL CONTROL,AND THE BEAUTIFUL POWERFUL BALLAD DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY. IT REALLY IS A GOOD CD."
