A GEM June 7, 2008
Josephine Horne (Memphis, TN)
I remember hearing the songs from this album when I was in junior high school. They are still enjoyable. Her voice is golden. This is a different Whitney from her two preceding albums. She is more than just ballads. Her song "Lover for Life" is an underrated classic. "I Belong to You" is good too.
 Great album January 28, 2008

I loved the album and especially Miracle. can you hear her sing on it? The vocal records are extremely rich and beautiful.
Whitney's Last Decent CD June 2, 2007
Rod Reviewer (VA USA)
It is hard to believe that it is approaching the 20-year mark since this CD was released. My, oh my, how time changes things. Back then, Whitney was at the top of her game: gorgeous face, incredible voice, and a life of endless luxury and happiness. But now, Whitney is a mere shell of her former self. Nearly 20 years in a stormy relationship, add to that her drug addiction and overall instability, and what we now have is just plain sad. I loved Whitney back in 1990, and I am so sad for her now. So sad for what should have been, but apparently was never meant to be. Hopefully, one day Whitney will come back to the real world, admit how she majorly screwed up with her life, and try to pick herself up again and move forward...reclaiming the glory that I am sure is still waiting for her.
I miss you, Whitney. We all do.
Whitney's 3rd Arista album very excellent!!! February 3, 2007

I'm Your Baby Tonight was Whitney Houston's 3rd album with Arista. It was released in 1990 and contains some great songs on it. Why is this title discontinued? What is the reason for it to not be available anymore? That is what's peculiar here. Whatever the reason as to why this title is not available anymore is anyone's guess. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why this title is discontinued. There are some songs on this title that I like. The title track, My Name is Not Susan, Anymore, Miracle, All the Man That I Need, After We Make Love, and I'm Knockin' are the song titles on this album that I like. The front cover picture of Whitney sitting on the seat of the motorcycle is a great one. To the folks at Arista: Please reissue this title back to fans of Whitney's so that they will have a chance to enjoy it again. Whitney fans: Until this album is reissued, you'll just have to bear with getting it used.
Overlooked But Very Good November 28, 2006

This album was released in 1990 and was Whitney's third album. It didn't quite match the expectations of her previous two, although five singles were released and were all top 20 and the album a third place on the album charts. Some would go as far as calling it a lackluster but I'm ready to disagree. It did eventually sell 4 million copies and a few of the songs here are very good. Compared to her first two, "I'm Your Baby Tonight" is miles after though. The producer list is impressive, L.A Reid and Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Narada Michael Walden wrote a whole lot of songs, Luther Vandross produced and appear on backround vocals also. Walter Affansieff on keyboards. He would later write loads of songs for Mariah Carey! and Kenny G on saxophone. What could go wrong?
At the time of this release Whitney just had massive success and had been mentioned in the same lines as Janet Jackson and Madonna. This album had something missing perhaps, there was no uptempo dance song like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" from her last album and neither did it have the same variety as the latter. This follows the same path more or less with it's 11 songs. Many power ballads, some midtempo soul and then a few hip hopish pop songs but it still lacked the songs for a megastar Whitney had become. Although it's far from a bad album. Many of the songs, the singles in particular are very strong. Let's take a look.
Babyface/Reid wrote the first song, title track, midtempo "I'm Your Baby Tonight" a song about a woman that will do anything for her man. It reached #1 on the billboard charts in 1990. Perhaps the best song of this album. "My Name Is Not Susan" only reached #20 and was a chart dissapointing. It sound a little like Janet Jackson's songs at the same time. It's an uptempo where her boyfriend calls her Susan and mistake her for his ex. Perhaps more famous when Salt N Pepa sampled it for "What a Man". Kenny G helped her out on "All the Man That I Need" which also reahed #1 on the charts. This was a Sister Sledge cover, but Houston's version is top class. "Lover For Life" is forgettable even if Whitney's vocal range is always good. "Anymore" and "Miracle" were both Reid/Babyface songs, the first a midtempo the latter a ballad about abortion, although the video didn't prove that!. It reached a 9th position on the charts. Narada Michael Walden's "I Belong To You" didn't make the pop charts in US and not the top 40 in Uk either. However, this midtempo is pretty good, although it lacks a good hook it's a catchy song nonethless. "Who Do You Love" co-written by Luther is perhaps the closest you get to uptempo-pop here. Sounds a lot like Janet Jackson again. ""We Didn't Know" written by Stevie Wonder and also a duet. Interesting song, but never released as single. "After We Make Love" is adult contemporary, and forgettable. Closer is called "I'm Knockin" and is a jazzy Hip Hopish typical early 90's song. But nothing special either.
Overall, This is a grower. Few songs are that well known, but the album is defenitely not worse then anything else in 1990 even if it's weaker then her first two album. Not so strange since they both were phenomenal!. However, this album got it's moments, it's not perfect but it's defenitely worth the price. But don't start here, start with here first two albums "Whitney Houston" and "Whitney". 4 stars.
