Cute and nostalgic, but not great, December 1, 2002
By A Customer
This CD was not popular, and while it's not fantastic, it does deserve more credit than it got. It's a good debut CD, considering the guys were only about 10 years old. If you're a fan of the group, it's fun to listen to this and hear how it all began. There was some other kid instead of LDB, and he didn't seem to add much to the group. Batman was already taking the lead and was talented at singing slow songs. Romeo was already doing the rapping, although it didn't fit into the songs as well as it does now. This CD isn't up to "Playtime Is Over" standards, but some of the slow songs are almost as good. If you're looking for music from Immature/IMX as you know them, this isn't it. But if you want to hear their cute 10-year-old music and uncover some Immature history, get this CD.

3 1/2 stars -- on their BEST behavior, June 28, 2005
Yes...Immature (they will never be IMX to me)is sorely underrated in discussion of bonafide '90s R&B groups. Probably the best indication of this was on their debut album released at the tailend of new jack swing. Maybe the waning acceptance of the genre sunk the album, which was a shame because this is a pretty good nostalgic record. Though uneven, the pubescent trio (Batman, Romeo, Half-Pint) turned out some pretty impressive tracks, balancing traditional dance numbers with sappy ballads. I will admit -- when I first heard the record, it took me a while to overcome Marques Houston's shreeching high notes. But, it's refreshing nonetheless, given how today's singers barely register in your ears.
With the album itself, there isn't a dud track. The only subpar track is "I Wanna Know U That Way", and its actually not that bad. The rest of the album is very enjoyable, with the alternation of dance and balladry to balance the album quite nicely.
In sum, Immature barely registered their first time out. While their album was good, poor promotion and bad single choices committed their downfall. They would try again two years later to much better results and become industry heavyweights.
