Having served mostly as a songwriter for the success of others, with an occasional single of his own getting a peak at contemporary radio play, "Stuck on You" was milked by many stations for air time. Many a "smooth jazz" station claimed Bobby as their own after the release and subsequent success of this CD, one that only the heart broken could pen. "Don't Lead Me On, Stuck on You," and "Cry" reach every emotional horizon one can reach in the pre, current, and post phases of a relationship. In "Janet" Bobby picks up the tempo a bit in singing the praises of his favorite girl of choice, and "Back To You" gives Bobby a gorgeous duet with Marilyn Scott to dress up the tail end of his album. Alto saxers Richard Elliott and Dave Koz, along with the Tower of Power band make noticeable contributions to this mood setting collection of what many now consider Caldwell classics. They say females are more taken to singers (or men?) who are more sensative and capable of pouring out their emotions. Given the make-up and response of the audience I saw at Bobby's show on the "Stuck On You" tour, in Joliet Il., I would have to say that there is some substance to that claim. More than one person I know became instant Bobby Caldwell fans after one listen of "Stuck On You". It's a very fulfilling album with enough depth to listen to it from beginning to end. Caldwell's emphasis is more on songwriting and singing - his obvious and well regarded strengths- than any extravagent keyboards, though anyone familiar with Bobby never really expects anything beyond that anyway. Bobby has made several good CDs since, but none of them were able to live up the the standard "Stuck on You" set. While some light music stations dug into this album, it's more in the contemporary jazz category.

I bought this album back in the nineties and this is one of Bobby Caldwells best albums. His voice paired with his composing abilities are nearly unmatched, if you enjoy well performed music that puts you in an emotional mode. The sound and the harmonics aren't what you can expect from your daily average, and often mediocre radio broadcast content. No, this is way beyond. This is for connoisseurs! Thank you Bobby!!!

We love playing this cd when our friends come over to dinner. We get so many comments on it. The cd is easy listening and winding down from a hard days work . This cd is a must have.

My husband, daughter (21), and I are all huge fans of Bobby's and have most of his CD's, including this one. This is one of my favorites of his, particularly because it contains 2 of my all-time favorite BC songs: "Don't Lead Me On" and "Cry". Ok, true, I have a long list of Bobby Caldwell favorites, but anyone who's a fan of his can't help but have a long list because Bobby simply not only has "a way with a song," but a voice "like butter" and innate good taste in writing and/or selecting and arranging songs!
