Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Though "We Got A Love Thang" fell somewhat short of A&M;'s pop expectations, this easy- going jack/funk affair from Peniston's excellent debut album, "Finally," proves that the game is far from over. She delivers an assertive vocal that recalls early Teena Marie, while producer Steve "Silk" Hurley tempers the beats with a memorable melody and a fluid sax solo. Way cool for several formats." Music Week commented, "Although not as impressive as Finally or Love Thang, this soulful track should still score that all important third hit for Ce Ce." James Hamilton from Record Mirror described the song as a "soulfully wailed jaunty jiggler".

" She felt that "with her third disc, the gospel, jazz and hip-hop sprinkled Faithfully, Evans continues to challenge Blige's now drama- free reign." People remarked that "keeping one foot in both the hip-hop and R&B; worlds, Evans uses her gritty, gospel-informed alto to deftly mix components from the street and the church, bringing in guest rappers Loon and P. Diddy for two songs. But when she goes soulfully solo on the jazzy numbers “Do Your Time” and “Love Can’t Hide,” it’s clear that this is Evans’s party." Christian Ward from NME wrote that Faithfully is "better than we might’ve expected" and called it "half a good album," feeling that the "final stretch is a long haul, everything getting mid-tempo and warbly.

'God sent me an angel from above, that's going to love me for life,' she sings soulfully, with recent events making the lyrics particularly resonant. Combining modish beats with a cool, breezy chorus, 'If This Isn't Love' may not be in the same league as recent power ballads from Beyoncé and Leona, but it has an understated charm that's hard to quibble with." Commenting on its remix, produced by Fraser T. Smith, he added: "The single comes with no fewer than six different remixes, but the straightforwardly-titled Fraser T Smith Remix wins 'B-side Of The Week' as it adds a bit of extra zest to the song without removing any of its understated charm. Smith has carefully tinkered with the track's foundations, injecting some R&B; adrenaline and a bit more of a beat.

" Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe gave the film two- and-a-half stars, praising the performances of its cast members, writing about McAdams that "she's soulfully committed to the suds in the story and fiercely attentive to the other actors". He added about Gosling: "Gosling is adept at playing sociopaths and intense brooders, and there's reason to think, early on, that Noah might be similarly off, as when he threatens to drop from a Ferris wheel unless Allie agrees to go on a date with him." About the film, he wrote: "Considering the sunny, relatively pleasurable romantic business that precedes it, the elderly stuff seems dark, morbid, and forced upon us." Jessica Winter of The Village Voice gave the film a mixed review, stating: "Amid the sticky-sweet swamp of Jeremy Leven's script, Rowlands and Garner emerge spotless and beatific, lending a magnanimous credibility to their scenes together.

Nick Pride states "I was always a fan of amazing pop songwriters like Burt Bacharach and Holland-Dozier-Holland, but on the other hand, being a dedicated musician, I love the raw energy of being on stage with a funk band". The album was well received by reviews saying "The emphasis is on songwriting backed with energetic, tight funky playing"; "an album filled with soulfully deep and satisfying recordings that are light on filler yet heavy on grooves to keep your body shaking to the beat";"one of the most exciting albums of 2014". With the departure of sax player Tomas Quilliam to set up his own business John Waugh was brought on board as the new full- time sax player.

" Robert Christgau was less enthusiastic in Creem, saying Allman "proves that drawling slowly isn't the same as singing soulfully." In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Christgau reassessed the album more favorably; while still believing Allman sounded melancholy because of "a limited formal imagination", he conceded that the singer "puts a lot into 'These Days' and 'Midnight Rider,' and that the reason you can listen to such originals as "Please Call Home" and "Multicolored Lady" isn't the writing." AllMusic later said: "Recorded in the same year as the Brothers and Sisters album, this solo debut release is a beautiful amalgam of R&B;, folk, and gospel sounds, with the best singing on any of Gregg Allman's solo releases." In 2006, Tom Moon of NPR reviewed the album as a part of his "Shadow Classics" series, calling it "amazing stuff, deep and intense yet nowhere near the decibel levels of his work with the [Allman Brothers] band.

" Cross Rhythms' Isaac Poulton highlighted that the release "would really speak to people going through tough times, which really makes this album worth getting." At Christianity Today, Andy Argyrakis criticized that "There are also several additional R&B;/jazz-infused moments to accompany his soulfully smooth vocals, but a few others are middle-of-the-road piano/acoustic songs lacking personality." Sarah Fine at New Release Tuesday evoked that the album was "Fun, funky and full of faith, Clear The Stage is undoubtedly Jimmy Needham’s finest work to date", and that "Overall, this album does not disappoint and will be a hard one to follow up, but if anyone can do it, it’s Jimmy Needham." At Indie Vision Music, Jonathan Andre felt that the artist "has stretched the musical boundaries" in a good way on his fourth studio album. Michael Dalton of The Phantom Tollbooth called the album "arresting and unforgettable", which he wrote that "This may be Needham’s best and most mature recording to date, and the way he sings 'Clear the Stage' is worth hearing.

She soulfully sings, dances and, over a couple of costume changes, even dresses like the (ghetto) superstar she only almost became when she was cavorting around in her smalls with Pink, Christina Aguilera and Lil' Kim as the least- impressive name on the 2001 "Lady Marmalade" cover." Writing on behalf of Paul’s performance, he said, "Here, however, the mohawked Paul and his thunderous backing band play an unselfish set loaded with sizzling, pounding takes on the early likes of "Get Busy", "Give It Up to Me", "Like Glue" and "Temperature", rather than constantly force recent material down your throat, and the results are irresistible." Concluding in his review, "And if there's one lesson we can learn from this night it's that even if we might question his choices on record, live, Sean Paul still definitely knows what he's doing." The Gleaner gave the concert a positive review as well and wrote, "A scintillating set, complete with full band, DJ, supporting vocals and dancers, Sean Paul electrified the hall for well over an hour and well past curfew.

" Blues & Soul described it as a "soulfully-heartfelt and edgily- pounding" track. Digital Spy gave the song 5 stars out of 5, a "refreshing to hear an artist spill their guts over a stomping club-thumper rather than the usual dancefloor and DJ antics; the result is a euphoric urban paean that places Misha as one of the most exciting acts ever to have come out of a talent competition". Holy Moly compared the song with Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and Robin S's "Show Me Love"; while Jeremy Williams from So So Gay comparing the track to Vanessa Amorosi's "Absolutely Everybody" said that the track displays Misha's impressive vocals perfectly "Misha’s latest effort more than proves she has credible pop prowess." and "While not the most instant of this year’s post X Factor releases, it is easily the most impressive." Flavour Magazine acclaimed the song, stating that it "is a track that will have you bopping your head, clapping the beat, whilst skanking your shoulders". Thatgrapejuice.net described the song as a "delicious blend of Urban and Dance, 'Think of Me' – with its 90′s club-meets-tribal-flavour – taps into what’s "hot" without compromising Misha's soulful core.
