One also has to give her a tip of the hat for not doing a duet with Michael.

The absence of a ballad in the collection is indicative of the producer's lack of confidence in LaToya's vocal ability.

She's just not exciting enough to carry it all off.

With LaToya's sylings and fresh clear voice, what results is an album of lively cuts that lend themselves well to the dance floor.

Lightweight, bubblegum soul, distinguished only by the title track.

Gives LaToya the melodic support and sympathetic production of a good Donna Summer record, making it, if not a victory, the at least something of a triumph.

This is the Jackson record you don't hear on the radio ... that alone ought to give you a strong sense of the banality of what's stored in this set of grooves.

She gets the benefit of the doubt for being the least hyped Jackson around at the moment.

There's no substance to her thin vocal tone, no instinct to her sloppy phrasing, and no personality to her bland delivery.
