It handles everything with a flair that puts it near the same category as SWV, but more in-your face.

Ends up contributing to the doldrums of today's predictable R&B material.

Consistent but ultimately routine collection of hip-hop/RB tracks.

Sounds more like the fourth album of an R'n'B veteran rather than the best shot of a hungry new act.

A slick funky mix of West Coast tunes all presented and produced very well with a vocal maturity that is well beyond their teenage years.

702‘s hip-pop is catchy, though hard to distinguish from the swelling tsunami of R&B girl groups.

702 manages to contribute something rare to the current spate of R&B girl groups – an album full of satisfying, hip-shaking tracks, not just a few radio-friendly singles.
