Shaggy's final album for Virgin Records failed to yield a huge hit single on the order of huge crossover successes "Oh Carolina" and "Boombastic," from his two previous sets. It's a respectful effort, nonetheless, with the DJ's "Mr. Lovah-Lovah" persona working overtime on originals--alone and with Maxi Priest, Brian & Tony Gold, and Ky-Mani Marley, the latest "son of" to take up a mic career. Shaggy's many fans get the great R&B-flavored tracks they've come to expect, as well as some shocking cover choices--"Piece of My Heart"!--no one anticipated. --Elena Oumano

4.0 out of 5 stars Midnite Lover is' boombastic', July 28, 2000

By A Customer

I enjoyed the more soulful lyrics in the ballads of this album. I listen to this cd every morning before I leave for work.My favorite tracks are "Piece of my heart" Sexy body girls" "Thank you Lord" and the title track. I think this album was more mature and creative than "Boombastic". I am really sorry it wasn't promoted more because a lot of people are missing out on an excellent copilation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Midnite Lover, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

I am a new fan of Shaggy's music. Midnite Lover was the first Shaggy CD that I've ever purchased. After listening to it, at least 50 times in seven days, I immediatley began looking for other CDs by this artist. It is, indeed, a shame that this fine artist does not get the recognition he deserves in the USA! I am not a cross over Reggae fan. Shaggy, thank you for keeping romance alive!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good CD that didnt get enough intrest, June 25, 2001

A Kid's Review

Shaggys CD midnite Lover is not one of Shaggys best works, But i did enjoy this cd alot. The song "Peice of my heart" is my favorite. Most of the songs are slower paced and have a deep meaning. (genie, dream, peice of my heart, thank you lord, ect.) Then there is the songs that are a little more... fast (midnite lover,Sexy Bodied girl)Ideffinitly prefer Boombastic and Hot Shot over Midnite lover. But this is still a great cd.This cd is between a 4 and a 3 to me
