The title of Boyz II Men's third consecutive covers album is only partially indicative. The love songs covered on this disc span several decades and styles, unlike Throwback (?70s and early-?80s funk and soul) and Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (self-explanatory), both of which were more focused thematically. What ties these songs together is that they are love songs, and nothing else. That early-?60s R&B (Sam Cooke's ?Cupid?), late-?90s country Lonestar?s ?Amazed"), and early-?80s rock (Journey?s ?Open Arms,? a choice likely influenced by producer Randy Jackson) are all part of the mix only hints at the randomness of the selections. Despite the range of the sources, Boyz II Men tie it all together. [An expaned version comes with the bonus track "Back For Good," as well as a DVD of interviews and behind the scenes footage.] ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
