A worthy, quality album, boasting easy listening and Mariah's dulcet vocals ideal for wedding-reception disc jockeys, as it has plenty of heart-felt tunes about love and life.

A monument of prosperity, but it's also a case study in how a good singer lost her way.

It's not history-making, but there are some good points.
