5.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoy UK, October 25, 1999
After reading the review from the UK about Diana's successful UK single, I had to respond. If there is one thing you can always count on in the USA, it is a fickle record-buying public. These days, no one in the US cares about decent music or about true Divas who have stood for grace and beauty--and who have stood the test of time. I am proud to say that I am one of those (obviously few) USA record-buyers who still appreciates Diana Ross and what she stands for. She sounds and looks magnificent at 55, and this is one of the best R & B albums released this year. Of course, one would never know it by turning on the radio, because Diana's voice is rarely heard anymore over the US airwaves. I am just thankful that Diana still continues to release records for her US fans. We are still here, Miss Ross--although you have every right to be partial to your UK fans. As for Motown's horrible promotion of this CD, it is something that I have grown to expect in this day and time. Motown has become like every other major label: they cater to the teeny-boppers and let the decent music fend for itself.

simply magnificent, April 30, 2000
I am 20 years old and listen to basic pop music, I have always known about Diana Ross, but when I saw her perform on Double Platinum and heard her sing some of the songs from her album, I rushed out to buy it. I love the entire album, I listen to it frequently to hear her beautiful voice. Alot of the singers out today can take a note or two from this truly legendary singer. I love how she pronounces the words to each song, and really sings from her heart. I have collected some of her past albums and singles recently since I bought the album, and nevertheless I have been "Swept Away" by this womans incredible voice and career. She is just simply magnificent. Now only if radio stations can play her and promote her as much as they do these less talented singers today.

Gorgeous, December 11, 1999
By A Customer
After 10 years of making sappy adult-contemporary ballads and weak hip/hop dance tunes, Diana Ross has finally returned to her roots- pure unabashed soul. This album is a sensuous collection of 11 breathy tunes that all but make up for her decade of mediocracy. While "Love Is All That Matters" isn't exactly all it was hyped up to be, the rest of the album is just astonishing. She creates soulful urban grooves ("Not Over You Yet", "Got To Be Free", "So They Say") steaming urban jazz ("Every Day Is A New Day", "Sugarfree") hip/hop gospel ("Hope Is An Open Window"), latin balladry ("Until We Meet Again"), and even a Broadway production number ("He Lives In You"). Also included is a haunting Diane Warren-penned ballad "Someone That You Loved Before" and top-notch dance anthems with "Carry On" and not one, but TWO hot remixes of "Until We Meet Again", one of which was savagely left unprinted on the CD packaging. This album is by far the best piece of work she has come up with in years. It goes up there with "The Force Behind The Power" as one of the very few masterpieces she has created in over a decade, and is a MUST for every CD collection.
