"Someone once told me, "There's not such thing as a bad O'Jays album." I'd have to say they are correct. One of my all-time favorite groups, if not my favorite. They've never disappointed me. Eddie and Walter are still in there hangin' tough with a new guy, who is quite good.What's great about this one is the O'Jays themselves produced it. It's very smooth and mixes some of today's soul grooves with their own classic sound. "Long Distance Lover" and "Let's Ride" start off this great CD and the great sounds just keep coming. "I'm Ready" and "Put out the Fire" and two other excellent tunes.The fellas are back and they still got it! O'Jays forever!"
Back with a bang!!!!

"The days of Gamble & Huff produced cd's are over, but this is their best effort since those days in the 80's. [Let's Ride, Don't break my heart and Latin Lover] are the best songs, but all eleven songs are good. Those three are my personal favorites. I'm glad artists that can really "sing" are still out there. When it's all said and done, the O'Jays will go down as one of the best R&B groups ever!"

"Just like the O'jays, they've put their game down for real!
Listening to them is like listening to a band.Their voices are the instruments in a soul/jazz ensemble."
Workin' It!!!

"It is sooooooo nice to hear my favs from the 70s and 80s!!! Yes, I'm old school and anyone 'round my age can understand and appreciate the mystic of the O'Jays. I'm sure there are quite a few 20somethings runnin' around because of the O'Jays!!! LOL They have always been good dance music and the blue lights in the basement, grinding in one spot on the dance floor music. Well guess, what? They are still bluelights and up-close and personal music makers! For us 30-40 somethings, it's smiling, yeah-that's-what-I'm-talkin'-'bout music. For the 20somethings it is so-that's-what-they-were talkin'-bout! music. LOLAll I can say is get it! It is smooooooooth!"
