Editorial Reviews 3 stars out of 5 -- Akon's silky, instantly recognizable vocals have made him an in-demand hook dude...Spin (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- [S]natches of melodica, strutting piano, and lightly toasted reggae grooves keep the album firmly rooted.Entertainment Weekly (p.127) - With his sensitive-guy croon and ex-con vocabulary, Senegal-raised singer Akon is the R&B thug of the moment.CMJ (p.40) - Akon is an absolutely magnetic vocalist...Vibe (p.111) - The album's a collection of immaculately constructed songs....Akon creates a comforting consistency...
