After a three-year break from studio releases, the queen of hip-hop soul returns with her fourth. From the Fulfillingness' First Finale-style groove of the opening "All That I Can Say" to the replayed "Bennie and the Jets" sample on "Deep Inside," these tracks are perfect matches for Blige's update of classic R&B values. --Rickey Wright

 Mary February 2, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Without a doubt I think this is her most powerful and meaningful CD to date. The lead single, "Beautiful Ones", "Deep Inside", "Time", and "Memories" are the reasons this CD is so great. The duet with her and K-Ci from Jodeci is powerful. Mary is magnificent. I liked and enjoyed every song on the CD you will not be disappointed.
 Good! But here's some criticism! March 23, 2009

I actually listened to this after amazon recommnded that I listen to this album. So i did and I thought it was pretty good. She's talented. I mean there's a reason that she has sold over 40 million albums. I will say that it sounded like a generic gospel album such as Mary Mary or Kirk Franklin. In that respect I will say that it wasn't as good as some of her other work. On best this album is average, she could have done better. I actually thought the last few tracks such as I thought Your child and The Love I never had. They were thought provoking and you really got to see how she really felt about growing up with haven't her parents around to much. For that i give her some props. Also there were some pretty slick beats, and most of the album relaxing to listen to. If your looking for mary j's best work look at her other albums. If you have a love for gospel music(modern day) or adult r&b then this is for you!
My favorite Mary C.D! October 13, 2008
Darah L. Woods (EUCLID, OHIO)
This has to be probably my favorite Mary c.d. The Lauryn Hill penned "All that I can say" is simply gorgeous, and a great way to open the c.d. My favorties include "No happy holidays", "Beautiful Ones",and "Let No Man put asunder" (has a nice 70's groove to it). "The love I never had" is phenomenal, and the groove session feel of the song, just make you feel good. "I'm in love" is another stand-out track, and "Give me you" is very inspirational. This is around the time Mary started getting herself on the right track, and it shows. Also duets with K-Ci and Aretha Franklin are both dynamic, definitely worth checking out.
Mary's most soulful album September 23, 2008
S. Hannah (S.C., USA)
"Mary," the fourth studio album by the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige is propbaly the most soul driven CD in her catalogue. Sure there are some Hip Hop moments like the booming "Sexy" featuring Jadakiss, the hard Elton John sampling second single, "Deep Inside," which samples his classic, "Bennie & the Jets," and the cool groove of "Time," but the rest is pure 70s inspired soul gems. The first single, "All That I Can Say," written and produced by Lauryn Hill sounds like something Stevie Wonder could have composed during the "Songs In the Key of Life" sessions. "No Happy Holidays" sounds like something Chaka Khan would have recorded with Rufus, and the grand, "The Love I Never Had" features Mary at her most heartfelt vocally. The nearly 7 minute opus, produced by legends Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, sounds more like a confessional than an actual song. Mary takes on two remakes with "I'm In Love," and "Let No Man Put Asunder," which she more than makes her own. Mary also duets with her Ex, K-Ci Hailey on the firery "Not Lookin'" and the Queen of Soul herself, Aretha Franklin, on "Don't Waste Your Time," where Aunt Ri schools MJB on how to deal with an unfaithful lover. Eric Clapton plays guitar on the bluesy, Diane Warren penned ballad, "Give Me You." The other tracks like the heartfelt "Beautiful Ones," the sentimental "Memories," and explosive "Your Child," where Mary confronts her lover about his lovechild, are pure gold. If you missed this collection of songs, please add it to your collection. It ranks up there with Mary's best. I still listen to it like it's new and it's been almost a decade since it's been released!
