Marc Anthony comes on like a suave, less jumpy alternative to Ricky Martin on this mostly English-language album. Having already introduced itself to the pop mainstream with the salsa-tinged single "I Need to Know," Marc Anthony offers several other obvious crossover hits, ranging from the Rodney Jerkins-produced Latin-funk fusion of "She's Been Good to Me" to the lovelorn midtempo ballad "When I Dream at Night." However, Anthony's agreeably keening voice is too often applied to the sort of colorless adult-contemporary material typical of Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey mainstay Walter Afansieff, who produces or coproduces three tracks here. The result is often more interesting in sociological terms--Anthony fans who, like the star, were born to Latino parents in America are as sure to eat this disc up as his new Caucasian admirers--than in musical ones. Ain't that America? --Rickey Wright

 CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF MARC ANTHONY! March 6, 2000
31 out of 40 found this review helpful
I first heard of Marc when I saw him last Christmas on the Rosie O'Donnel(?) Christmas special. He sang "I need to know", and I was IN LOVE! The next day I rushed out and bought his Marc Anthony cd. I must say that at first I was disappointed (I didn't know it was his cross-over album and was disappointed in the lack of latin songs). I also admit I thought the english speaking ballads were a bit drippy. But, within the next few days I had in my possession all of the cd's he ever did. I can see a real change in his music from his first cd, but the more I listen, the more I appreciate EVERY SINGLE SONG! I have never heard anyone sing with such emotion, and now that I am in luv I know he's singing every song to me!(sorry girls). After I saw his HBO concert where he was singing his song, My Baby You, right to his little girl and I watched him break down with emotion, I was REALLY hooked. Marc is a very unique talent; he's not a Frank Sinatra knock-off, or (thank God) Ricky Martin. I have only been a fan of his for a short time, but I can't get enough of his music and I am a die-hard fan. I COULD LISTEN TO THIS GUY SING THE YELLOW-PAGES, and I love all of his cd's equally; I listen to all 5 of them over and over whenever I can (my husband think's I've gone off the deep-end! He doesn't know Marc and I are running off together). If you are a true Marc Anthony fan, and I think that's the only kind of fan he has), then this cd will just be another gem to add to the collection. Can't wait to hear the next one! If anyone knows if he'll ever be in concert in this neck of the woods, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Wonderful - a true, pure delight! June 24, 2000

I thought this CD by Marc Anthony is good. The only bad part about this CD is that he didn't add the song "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" that he sang for the movie, 'The Mask of Zorro'. I was disappointed about that because I really liked that song and usually when artists sing songs for movies, they put those songs on their albums, too. But above all that, this CD is awesome. I especially like the songs "I Need To Know" and "You Sang to Me". Marc Anthony has a good, strong talented voice and his music is catchy with a good beat and danceable music. This music makes you wanna get up and dance. It can also be very relaxing music. So if you like Latin music (for example: Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Selena, etc.) then this is for you and you'll love this Marc Anthony album! Even if you don't perfer Latin music you'll still enjoy listening to Marc Anthony's brilliant, stunning voice and music.
Most passionate unique Latin sensibility. November 19, 2000
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
This album was long over due for Marc Anthony, who until now has resisted the lure of the american pop scene. His music has always been authentic and steadfastly traditional, garnering respect from salsa aficionados. The release of this first English-speaking album is huge to say the least. He is not just another crossover by any means. The only thing he shares with fellow Latin recording artist Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez is a similar cultural heritage. Anthony is a passionate singer and it shows in his music, both english and spanish. This album is proof of that. He melded his urban American upbringing with his Puerto Rican roots to bring us a unique Latin sensibility. So if you like music that can make you move your feet, and touch your heart in a unique passionate way, here it is. Hold on to your seat for a ride you won't soon forget. A must have CD. To make your experience even better I recomend his first two albums, Otra Nota and Todo a Su Tiempo, which went platinum.
A Piece of Treasure! November 25, 1999

I was at Borders listening to many of the new releases and then I just casually sampled this album. Man I was blown away by this! Marc Anthony has got a vocals that are powerful but yet sincere and heartfelt...The production is solid. This is an album that is very complete...that is just no necessity to skip any tracks! I was so excited about the discovery of this gem that I told some of my friends about it immediately.
 A Truly Great POP Album March 30, 2000
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Let's set things straight, Marc Anthony has got to have the greatest voice on any male POP star since Michael Jackson. Let's face it, the man can sing! And on this CD, he does just that. The CD starts off with the beautiful 'When I Dream At Night' which I like because with his voice and the way he pronounces his words, you can feel the longing in the song and the effect is breathtaking. Now there is alot of sappy stuff on this CD, like 'Am I The Only One' and 'My Baby You', but he picks it up again with the already Top 10 hit 'I Need To Know' which totaly groves and rocks. It was last summer I first heard him, during the credits of the movie Runaway Bride, his song 'You Sang To Me' played and I knew I had to find out whoever was singing that masterful song. It is great, the best on the entire CD, his new single too. Other highlights on the CD include, 'That's Okay', 'She's Been Good To Me' and the spanish versions of the uptempo songs. I'm not one for melodrama, and this CD has got alot of it, but all in all this is a great first time English effort and I hope to see more from him the future, oh yeah and unlike other 'Latin' artist's, this guy actually writes his own material!
