“Another classic Diana album. The beautiful title track is definitely one of her best songs. Her rendition of Imagine is also true winner. Her voice sounds so cool on it.”

“The title track s a masterpiece itself and is one of Diana's most memorable and timeless classics. The rhythm builds to the exciting chorus which she tackles with style and finesse.”

“Her voice on this album is incredibly velvety and sensual and it's rare to hear her sing in such a way. I'm sure she could have found better songs to suit such a warm register.”

“The album opens with that ever popular Ross ballad, Touch Me In The Morning which has to rank as one of the finest pop singles of the modern era. Diana demonstrated previously undiscovered nuances in her delivery, and displayed a talent for ballads that was fresh and exciting. Furthermore, her voice was incredibly smooth, supple and dreamy. It all makes for pleasant listening. There are no dance cuts here, just classy ballads.”

“The magnificent Touch Me In The Morning is an absolute cracking masterpiece and is one of Diana's most memorable classics. Another timeless ballad is the remarkably powerful, All Of My Life where her exuberant delivery ignites this breathtakingly beautiful ballad to startling effect.”

“The tile track is the epitome of a Diana Ross ballad, and it landed her another pop/R & B crossover hit. Diana was gaining more confidence as a vocalist, and this release contains some of her finest work from a cover of the Carpenter's, I Won't Last A Day Without You, to a moving take on the John Lennon masterpiece Imagine.”

“This collection is a pure set of ballads where Diana simply uses her vocal gifts emotionally to great result. No theatrics. No Diva songs. Instead, just raw and emotive Diana.”
