"Cheryl Lynn remains one for the ages: a voice that transcended her material and the short time that she was in the limelight. This "Sony Special Products" disc doesn't even scrape the surface of the explosive vocalist. Culled from her 1978 debut album (6 cuts), 1980's "In Love" (2 tracks), the title cut from 1984's "Preppie", and "It's Gonna Be Right from 1985 (1 cut), there are still some glaring omissions, specifically her duet with Luther Vandross ("If This World Were Mine") and her R & B smash "Encore". If one is just interested in a few choice Lynn samples, then this is the one to have. However, the true fan would be best to invest in "Got to Be Real: The Best of Cheryl Lynn"."
