"I have two words to appropiately express the quality of thi album: Silky Smooth. Ralph Tresvant has been flying under the radar. It is time to recognize his smooth vocal talents. "Never Noticed" is the Bomb! Great Album!"
One of the most underrated voices of his time

"Ralph Tresvant returns with this thrid solo album and like his previous two they are excellent. Ralph's problem has always been lack of faith in his vocals by cold blooded record executives in Rizzo's talent. Ralph shines on the ballads Homegirl,Never Noticed, Don't Act Innocent and the interlude Slow Down. On the uptempo side Ralph delivers the goods on Jungle Club, Save A Little Love and Something To Give You. Ralph Tresvant and his fellow NE brothers are without a doubt the most underrated group in R&B and here's hoping they get the recongtion they deserve one day."
Well worth the wait

"Dang! 13 years since his last solo lp, gotta give the man credit for making a very decent lp. Of course how can you be that rusty when you had two group albums in between where you had to be on point with cats like Ricky Bell, Johnny Gill and Bobby Brown who can upstage you in a minute. I really like the ballads on this cd but really liked how he freaked the Biggie instrumental. PEACE"
Good Job Ralph

"I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I have enjoyed listening to this cd. RizzWaFaire IMO is better than his debut. Why? Because he had way too many producers on his debut, which sounded all over the place and disjointed. However, I gotta give Jam and Lewis props for providing Ralph classics like "Sensitivity" and "Do What I Gotta Do". This new cd plays consistently from song to song. Ralph is singing better and has grown vocally which is evident on the slow ballads. He still has that silky smooth voice. My favorite cuts are mainly the slow jams like Homegirl, Never Noticed (Jam/Lewis sound-alike cut), and Too cool. The uptempo cuts I like are Love Hangover and Another Shot. Overall, Ralph did a good job on this cd."
Rizz takes control

"I'm a huge NE fan and Ralph's one of my all-time favorite vocalists. I was skeptical about this release since the last CD he self-produced ("It's Goin' Down") was subpar.
Rizz Wa Faire is consistent. It features good production music and passionate singing by Ralph. "Never Noticed" is exceptional! If you're a Ralph Tresvant fan, buy this with confidence."
