"I've been a fan of dionne,s since the heartbreaker days and this effort here just makes me love her all the more! This is great music for anyone who likes to listen to good music on a fall evening and feel sexy! And the duet with cousin nippy is pure pop delight! So all of you twenty-somethings out there trying to keep up with the gen-x croud by listening to the n-stinc's and the britney whats-her-faces; knock it off! We still have pros out there like dionne giving us good solid material that fits our age without sounding out dated and stale.Which in my personal opinion good music never gets old; this cd here is one for the shelf. Dionne has'nt sounded this good since "love power", my ultimate favorite tune by her. Thanks to amazon.com theres still hope for people like me who loves good music. Well now I know where to find it!"
Smooth & Sexy Music

"Why this album did not go platinam is a mistery to me, but this album rocks!!! From the singles, the lustful "Where My Lips Have Been" and the smooth soul ballad "Love Will Find a Way" feat. Whitney Houston to soulful & funky songs like "'Tll The End of Time", "Much Too Much", "Fragile" and "Friends Can Be Lovers." This is music that will arouse the lover in you. Dionne's voice is sultry and smooth throughout the album. This is truely a keeper! If you like Lisa Stansfield, Sade, etc., you will love this album. Buy "Friends Can Be Lovers" today, you won't regret it!!!"
Cool Music From A Diva

"This highly underrated album from Dionne Warwick was released back in 1993. It is some of her best work. Produced by Burt Bacharach, Barry J. Eastmond (Freddie Jackson, Melba Moore, Meli'sa Morgan) Ivan Devney & Andy Morris (Lisa Stansfield) and David Elliot, among others, this set was a welcomed change from the material she'd done in the past. Check out "Til The End Of Time," "Where My Lips Have Been," "Friends Can Be Lovers," "Much Too Much," "The Woman That I Am," and the duet with cousin Whitney Houston, "Love Will Find A Way." If Arista had pushed this album as Dionne's return to R&B/Pop, it might have been a success. Regardless of the lack of commercial success, this is indeed some of Dionne's best work. Not since the "Heartbreaker" album (produced by Barry Gibb) and the "Two Ships Passing In The Night" album (produced by Luther Vandross) has she sounded so good. She seems to really feel the music. One can tell she really enjoyed what she was singing about. We get the new and the old ("Sunny Weather Lover") Dionne Warwick. A nice collection added to a very steller career."
Classic Dionne, with a lot of soul and style, great CD!!!

"Dionne Warwick, always appears to know how to hit the mark when it comes to recording, good music. This cd is very good work, and flows from one great song to another. Another the styles and muscial arrangements( as produceres and writers)change form song to song this does don't phase the classic vocalist, she is up to the challenge and simply blows the songs away. In particular are her cover of Sting's "Fragile", and the funky"Til the End of Time". For anyone you may think that Dionne can only sing love songs you will be in for a great surprise with the variety of songs and music genres covered. So go out and buy this Cd to hear what a great vocalist can sound like when given the room to grow. Many of today's younger vocalist could learn alot from this lady!!!!!"
