4.0 out of 5 stars A strong and powerful album that went unnoticed., July 12, 2004

This 1989 release was a superb set of smooth soul ballads that went mostly unnoticed thanks to hip-hop's domination of Urban Contemporary radio. "I Won't Stop", "Why You Wanna Love Me Like That?" and the gorgeous "The Lady I've Been Waiting For" are all Quiet Storm gems which justify looking for and (hopefully) finding this rare and underrated CD.

This is one of the Manhattans best works to date. I stumbled across this CD in Germany and have enjoyed it ever since. The ballads are smooth and enchanting.

Two and a half decades, several personnel changes and 1 member's death after their first hit, the soulful and sensuous Manhattans were still a viable if not commercially successful entity with this 1989 album, despite being minus Gerald Alston. New lead singer Roger Harris fills Alston's shoes admirably, and although this album doesn't have anything killer along the lines of "Kiss & Say Goodbye," "Shining Star," or "Just The Lonely Talking Again," it's a strong set of mature, well-crafted soul ballads, as well as a couple of respectable if not superb new-jack styled uptempo offerings.
