"Love, both sugary sweet and delightfully nasty, is what D’Angelo’s debut serves up ... tantalizing (Prince) influenced soul. A."
- Entertainment Weekly
"... 20 years later, still the most chill thing ever ... packed with shades of Al Green, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye and Prince ... remains completely addictive ... introduced the world to a master who wouldn’t settle for stardom. D’Angelo wanted greatness."
- NME
"Four Stars ... he's a singer-songwriter with a mellifluous, sturdy voice that can coo and growl with equal conviction. He's no trailblazer: Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Prince have all walked down the same musical paths ... yet he manages to build on the examples of the masters ... a reminder of where R&B has been and, if the genre is to resurrect its creative relevance like a phoenix rising from the ashes, where it needs to go."
- Rolling Stone
D'Angelo's groundbreaking debut from 1995 yielded two hit singles, garnered four Grammy nominations and has sold over two million copies worldwide, winning over both critics and legions of fans.
