5.0 out of 5 stars George at his very best. No question about it!!!!, June 12, 2004

By	Justo Roteta (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I must first say that you must be a REAL fan of smooth soul and Quiet Storm ballads if you are to enjoy and appreciate this CD. Narada Michael Walden provided George with some great songs ("Too Many Times", "Shiver", "Kisses In The Moonlight" and the title track) while the Kashif-penned and produced "Secrets In The Night" is simply sublime. Both Narada Michael Walden and Kashif were among the most in-demand R&B produers of the 1980s (they both also have jazz backgrounds) and pairing them with George made for a memorable album.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Second Rate Stuff Here, September 16, 2002

By	"fabriviera" - See all my reviews

This obviously is an overlooked album and it's an excellent choice for those who are fed up with George Benson's overplayed titles.

If you want the proof that the sound is of a great quality :

Narada Michael Walden produced and arranged the whole album, except for one title (secrets in the night) which was produced and arranged by... Kashif. These 2 names mean Perfection.

4.0 out of 5 stars The usual phenomenal Benson., April 23, 1999

By A Customer

I stumbled on this CD by accident. While watching an old "Mike Hammer" tv show, George sang "Love is Here Tonight, which totally mesmerized me." The other titles were fantastic, too, but I'm the type who will buy a CD for just one song and play it continuously. Also, it took about a year or so to secure this CD.

Benson's long career has seen him doing excellent things and not so good ones. This album is to be sent into the second category. Read more
