5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For the Summer., June 28, 2002

There is no doubt that Marc Anthony has one of the best voices in pop music today, and his second english language album proves it once again. There is nothing new on his second effort, its basically an exact replica of his debut, but why mess with a good thing. Where Marc Anthony shines is his ability to deliver a gorgeous ballad with a lot of power and emotion. Songs like I Need You, Mended, and Everything You Do are stunning. His voice sounding better than ever. Of course there are the latin flavored dance tracks like Tradgedy, I Swear, and the first single I've Got You. Songs that need to be played at full volume. They are funky and exciting. Marc Anthony fans won't be disappointed, and hopefully new fans will embrace him and learn to appreciate his superior voice. A must have for the summer.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Pretty Good Follow-Up to HIS ENGLISH DEBUT!, May 21, 2002

I have been waiting for a long time for this new English release by Salsa star Marc Anthony.....it was well worth the wait except for a minor complaint. The complaint first is that many of the upbeat songs on the album sound alike and are so similar in theme. But, he is a newlywed and a happily married man now so he deserves to let his love show!! Anyways....the standout tracks are I'VE GOT YOU with an addicting hook and melody, TRAGEDY which is another song you will be singing along with in no time at all, DO YOU BELIEVE IN LONELINESS, a gorgeous ballad, and I WANNA BE FREE.....the best song on the album which has an awesome last chorus complete with his belting it out and a major key change. Few artists have the emotional range and technical perfection that Marc Anthony possesses.....he is a world treasure.....way to go Marc! Keep it up!

3.0 out of 5 stars More Adult Conteporary Than The First English Album, May 31, 2002

Nothing wrong with being more Lite Rock and possibly parting ways the mainstream top 40, but even artists like Chicago or even a Richard Marx and others alike, before and after, their songs were not as monotone or sleepy. His voice is still great, no question about that. But I have to agree with a recent review on this site that he needs a heavier hitter producer. Nothing against Corey Rooney and others that worked on this disc, but someone that has a voice like Marc Anthony should have someone like Quincy Jones and even Mutt Lange to put in better musical arrangements to accompany Marc's voice. The current song that is being played on the radio (track 3) and its Spanish version (track 13) are the best songs on the CD. Catch the other songs at your nearest elevator or dentist office, except "Tragedy". The voice alone does not make the album!
