REVIEW

Whitney

McLean, VA, USA

June 3, 1987

The multi-format formula that worked so well on the debut and was brought back for the new LP doesn't diminish its cushy pleasures.

It'll sell a billion, but soul this is not.

Hartford, CT, USA

The choices here are safe and pretested. The joys of discovery in the first album have been replaced by the security of the familiar.

One listen to "Whitney" ... is proof that her path to homogenized, white-bread, crossover fame is irrevocably paved.

New York, NY, USA

Proves that Houston, an alto with a three-octave range, certainly is no "one-hit only" artist and is, without question, one of the most consistently talented performers in pop music.

Does not hit with quite the impact of the debut, but it is a solid effort.

Polished and perfunctory.
