Great performances with New Edition on such tunes Can You Stand The Rain, Boyz II Men.. Solo hits like Rub You The Right Way, My My My.. Soundtrack accomplishments Boomerang, Mo Money..

Every song on this disc is simply great working with some of the best producers on the music scene Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Tony Rich, Big Bub ( Formely of the group Today), Babyfacea gave Johnny the best material they could to work with he deliver the goods .. The best track on the disc is Take Me I'm Yours this song is a thing of beautiful from the symphonic opening you will be hooked on this song..

"Johnny is by far, the best male vocalist of this generation. He and Maxwell both put such emotion into the words they write and sing. This cd is truly a gem. You know you are listening to something special when you put it on and you don't skip a song. I actually find myself repeating a couple of them. The title of this cd says it all... "Let's Get The Mood Right". That, Johnny did. This is definitely great late night music for setting the mood. It is also good relaxation music after a hard days work. The best songs on the cd have to be the Babyface written title track. One cannot forget to mention the song, "Maybe"(what a great song title)and it's haunting melody (you will find yourself humming it all day long and not even notice it!). The track that takes the cake, hands down, has to be "Take Me (I'm Yours)", which in my opinion, a lot of us men can relate to. Trust me, that song is about 7 and a half minutes of pure heaven! Johnny definitely put his heart and soul into this project. It is a shame he hasn't put anything out since. If you are a mature listener then you HAVE to purchase this. You will not be dissapointed."

"This was Johnny's best CD. It didnt get its proper attention. They only played a few songvs off the CD on the radio. It is a great buy if you like mellow music. Johnnys voice is so sexy. I highly recommend."
Yes Johnny!

"I owned this CD when it came out, somehow it got lost when I moved. I could not help but try to find it again. This is grown folks music for real! I love Johnny Gill's voice and his style. He has a gospel tinged voice and he knows how to use it.
I do long for another J.G.album. He is deffinately a talented man who has been blessed with an incredible voice.
This album is awesome and a true mood setter for a husband and wife on a romantic evening!
It's a classic and I am the proud owner!

So-So!

"As the title for this 1996 CD suggests, the more mid-tempo/ballad side of Mr. Gill are given more prominent on this release. Now this wouldn't be a problem if these songs were of the quality that we are used to on afore mentioned CDs by Johnny. What we have here are some half decent songs, that whilst not awful, are a par down on what we are used to from this artist. On to many of these songs, they all merge into each other. Only a hardcore fan/lover of quiet storm moment would fine anything of any value here. I never had my copy for long, giving it to my big Sister, who loved all things Johnny back then.
As for the more the more up-tempo songs, 'I know you Want me is OK' as is 'So gentle'.
This was the last Johnny Gill Cd I purchased( and I think that this was his last major solo CD release) With a voice like Mr. Gill has, this is a crying shame!
