Atlanta hit maker Jermaine Dupri knows exactly what he's doing with his all-male quartet Jagged Edge: combining old-school soul with a G's sensibility and focus on a topic that everyone can relate to, love. On their sophomore disc, J.E. Heartbreak, the four young men prove that their sweet, gentle voices can be as provocative as a lover's soft caress. The ballad-heavy album features the guitar-tinged "Healing" and "He Can't Love U," a plea to a female who should rid herself of her undeserving lover. While slow jams are clearly Jagged Edge's specialty, uptempo tracks such as "Keys to the Range" and "Did She Say" (which utilizes the lighthearted flute loop from the Beatnuts' "Off the Books") demonstrate their ability to be slightly rugged and rough, making the group's moniker incredibly fitting. --Celine Wong

 The only thing wrong with this album is the title. March 2, 2000

Jermaine Dupri has done it again ladies and gentlemen. Jagged Edge has come with a strong second album. The 1st, "A Jagged Era", came with "The Way That You Talk", "The Rest Of Our Lives" and the classic "I Gotta Be". "J.E. Heartbreak" has the same formula but Jagged Edge does a better job of presenting it this time around. With Jermaine Dupri you know you're going to have the fast songs. " Keys To The Range", "Did She Say" and "Girl Is Mine" w/Ja-Rule are all examples of this. This time around, however, even with "I Gotta Be" on the last album, Jagged Edge brings the slow jams and mid-tempo songs, possibly better than they ever will again. "He Can't Love You" the current single is a perfect example, as well as, "Let's Get Married", "Promise", "Healing" and "True Man". I'm not saying that Jagged Edge didn't put forth the effort last time but it will be evident after you listen to this album that they spent extra time in the studio. "J.E. Heartbreak" is definitely one of the best R&B albums out now.
J.E. Heartbreak: As Good As Their Debut Album March 13, 2000

I bought the J.E. Heartbreak CD based on the few samples I was able to hear prior to purchase. This slickly produced album actually surpasses the great job that Jagged Edge did on their first album. The material is stronger, more mature, more consistent and is an overall excellent product. The harmonizing, rhythmic, and catchy songs are what captures me. The songs are hip yet classic and not as trendy as you'd think a young group such as Jagged Edge might perform. The music is so moving I bounce in my seat listening to this CD and I replay certain songs over and over again. Favorites include: He Can't Love U, True Man, Lace, and Promise. Everything is highly listenable. Highly recommended.

I bought this CD when I was on vacation in Orlando, Florida. To tell you the truth, it's one of the best CD's I've ever bought. Jagged Edge are truly talented and musically gifted. Every song on this CD reaches for the heart.You won't be disappointed. Trust me !

This CD is definetley classic Jagged Edge. It's everything you probably expected and more if you purchased "A Jagged Era" (Debut Album). Filled with a lot of sweet love songs dealing with the realities of love and commitment--from a man's point of view. Nonetheless, they deliver a lot of catchy, rough uptempo beats for those who want some hip-hop/r&b tunes... These are four very talented brothers who seem to have the special gift of making timeless music. Something we'll all be listening to for years to come !
 R&B balladry at its best................ August 21, 2000

when they do sing a ballad. If it wasnt for the flawless ballads( which even include the intro "Heartbreak") then this cd would be in gardbage can immediately. Songs like "Healing", "True Man", and "Promise" make this cd a bargain. The ballads showed at some times sound the same with the guitar-laced background but each is definitive in its own way. Surprisingly enough, the over played wedding song "Let's Get Married" isnt even close to one of the best songs on this album. In my opinion, "He Can't Love You" and the previously mentioned other ballads exceed the current single. The only uptempo song on this album that is worth listening to is the Beatnut-looped "Did She Say", which was what saved Jermain Dupri from going on my blacklist of music(Which currently contains Mary J. Blige and the entire Cash Money society) Now that my blood pressure is up ,I"m ready to discuss the low points of this album. Brandon and Brian Casey who wrote all the songs, need to be slapped for allowing songs like "Keys to the Range", "Lace You", and "Can I Get With You" to make it on the cd in the first place. In my opinion, Jagged Edge is a very below average group when they arent singing ballads. Jermaine Dupi really brought this cd from 5 stars to 4 but Brandon and Brian made it, otherwise, a classic.
