A confident, post-fame release, full of infectious, hushed musical sophistication.Adu’s voice is so ambient that it almost becomes another instrument. In fact, for someone who was such a seductive star (and who made the group), it’s hard at times to locate her on the album at all. […]

RateYourMusic
Here you see the typical Sade sound in conjunction with a typical 80s R&B drum machine percussion especially in songs like ”Turn My Back On You”. The album is also quite groove-based, however, these grooves make the songs sound pretty aimless. For a band that is known for its ”relaxing” quality, these songs are so tiresome, I could not wait for the album to finish. […]

Soul Bounce
Back in these days, eons of time did not have to pass in between Sade albums, so when “stronger Than Pride” dropped, it was the balm that the people, after being victimized by the “Me Decade” and Reganomics so desperately needed. If you had never experienced falling in love prior to hearing this song, it did not diminish your liking of it. […]
