Rolling Stone (9/2/99, p.110) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...superstar-packed....

4 stars A Different Mary...
What we have is a clean and sober Mary J. Blige recording. I remember when I first heard this one back 1999, I though to myself how mature she sounds here. This is classy album, but it lacks that particular magic of "What's The 411" or "My Life". Some say she made better music when her life was a mess. That may be true, but if she didn't get her life together we'd run the chance of not having any more music from her at all. Everything is a compromise. The standout tune here is "I'm In Love". It is brilliant and totally grown up Mary J. Blige. This song is by far the best here. Others of note are: All That I Can Say, Let No Man Put Asunder and Your Child. This CD was in my mind a transition CD for Mary because later CDs seem to be less convincing.
