Great vocals and interpretations of all songs. Have yet to hear anything she has not done well. Bought this as cassette in 1990. Replaced all cassettes with CD's but for some reason have had problem finding this (even the big outlets have not had this). So glad I joined CD Swap.
CD Reviews
R&B and Jazz comes together beautifully.

"Songs on this album were in heavy rotation on Smooth Jazz radio back in 1990. But the best song on this album by far is the last one called, "Company". That's not to take away from the other 5-Star songs such as Hello, Never Too Far, Come In, How Long, Eyes On The Prize, Bring Me Joy, Fumilayo, More To Love, and We Belong Together. Add this disc on your collection and enjoy."

"I bought this item on cassette tape long ago. It was in a clearance bin. I didn't know what to expect, but I decided to give it a try. After listening I knew I had really gotten a steal on that item. The whole thing is absolutly wonderful. My most favorite song is "Company". My cassette tape was detroyed and I have been looking all over for this CD with little luck until now. Dianne is coming in concert in my town in about a month. I have emailed her to ask if she would please sing "Company" when she comes in concert."

"this was an instant classic, this was her best so far,also it was a very well recorded cd (sound quality wise and music wise) but george duke always record in full digital,and this combo with dianne is no exception. the songs on never too far are rich,powerful and are well delivered. the song with stanley clark ,we belong together is excellent,heard on the right system (come in),the vocals and the music is thick, detailed and very full sounding. this album is complete. the range of her voice excellent the songs are very meaningful and forfilling to the the soul. it hard to find recordings like this nowadays."

"i fell in love with this album many moons ago back in college. when i started playing/singing with a band, i began to listen more and more to Dianne Reeves tunes.
she interprets a lyric like none other, and her voice is incredible. and the inclusion of TAKE 6 on the initial track is stellar.
"Company", "Come In" are favorites"

"While her self titled 'album' is fantastic, Never Too Far is a classic listen. "Come In" & "Company" are by far my favs on this one, for they pull on your heart strings while her strong but mellow voice tells you a sweet and meaningful story."
