CD ReviewsNot his best, but great to listen to Saxophonist | Maine | 01/03/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "Although Kenny G had not perfected his sound yet, some of the songs on this album are fun to listen to ("Tell Me", "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", and "The Shuffle"). He also does a great rendition of The Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why." If you like this, I recommend you check out Kenny G's albums "G-Force" and "Duotones."" Great Start! Andre' S Grindle | Bangor,ME. | 06/15/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kenny G's debut finds him very much in the shadow of his ex leader Jeff Lorber,who produces and plays synthesizers and keyboards on some of these songs.The upbeat "Shuffle" is not only self-explanatory as to it's sound but is exactly the kind of song Kenny and Jeff used to write together back in the Jeff Lorber Fusion daze!He opens the album with an update of Cannonball Adderly's soul-jazz classic "Mercy,Mercy,Mercy"-an attempt to showcase Kenny G's apparent 'link' to jazz.But uptempo R&B seems to be the order of the day here and fans of this album are encouraged to seek out Jeff Lorber's very similarly styled 'It's A Fact' CD from the same vintage.It's available as an import CD and for fans of this type of music goes well with this!" Kenny's first G. Carter | Temple Hills, maryland United States | 11/02/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Kenny G's first cd is a strong debut.. Very good instrumental covers of 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy' and 'I Can't tell You Why', way before they started calling what Kenny, Jeff Lorber, George Howard, Grover Washington Jr..& many others 'Smooth Jazz' Kenny's early efforts had a more R&B groove and harder sound that he would stay with for the next two projects."
