Pretty Ricky pretty much have sex on the brain, and with hits like "Grind with Me" and "Your Body" off 2005's Blue Stars winning the Miami foursome overnight superstardom, you sort of can't expect them to mess with the formula. That explains the obvious if-it-ain't-broke approach the boy-band of brothers took on this, their sophomore CD: If song titles like "Up and Down" and "Push It" don't say it all, lyrics, as in the unapologetically raunchy ones to "Personal Trainer," most certainly will. Look beyond the sleaze (some of it borderline sweet, as in the line "I've been thinkin' about you all day/In a nasty, passionate way" from "So Confused"), and what you'll find on Late Night Special is a whole lotta talent, though. Pretty Ricky is the current decade's answer to Jodeci, with a little Bone Thugs thrown in; "On the Hotline" brings the heat of the latter, and "Make it Like it Was" steps up with the taut hooks of the former. --Tammy La Gorce

Pretty Ricky- Late Night Special April 23, 2008

Now these guys arent the most talented band to walk the earth. Not even close. They dont have the best lyrics or the best vocals, whether it be rapping or singing. But what they do have, is pop appeal. They make music, that people can just enjoy listening to. Its not music that will blow you away because they have amazing lyrical talent, or because the production is perfect. They make music that is easy to like. They make really catchy songs that you find yourself singing despite wanting to. The one thing i have said from the begining though, is that Pleasure (The singer) is going to go solo. And sure enough he did. Because he was easily the most talented of the group. Wheater he will be successful or not on the solo tip, no one knows. But what i do know, is that on both of Pretty Ricky's albums, Pleasure was the one i always remembered sticking out the most. The other three members are decently talented, but i couldnt ever tell who was rapping on a certain song like i could tell you Pleasure was singing. But that same trend continues on this album as well, Pleasure sticks out the most with his creamey smooth vocals on tracks like the laid back summer anthem "Leave It All Up To You" or even on the heartbreak ballad "So Confused". Hes just the most talented out of the four. But my favorite song probably has to be the really relaxed sexy track "Up and Down", where again, Pleasure sticks out like a sore thumb over the lightly played piano track. "Up and Down" is definetly the baby maker of this album. Another great track is the second single "Push it Baby" which, like i predicted, was a huge club smash. And thats basically what Pretty Ricky was, they were a R&B/Rap group that didnt make albums that would knock you over the head with super deep lyrics, they just stuck to the plan and made the club/radio hits, mixed with some of the baby making/sexy matireal that made them popular. The only thing that made that this album a little bit better than Bluestars, was that the content on this album was still very sexually charged like on Bluestars, but the tracks on this album gave off a more mature sexiness than on Bluestars. Overall, Late Night Special isnt gonna win any awards for album of the year, but its at least more mature and it still satisfys the fans. PR definetly made a step forward with this album!

I love this CD, I listen to it straight through. I Like all the songs, Spec's voice is just mmmmmm..... I'd say if you like Pretty Ricky you'll love this CD. And so what if it's all about sex, what else is there to talk about amongst 20 year old males...Religion? Please...Give me a break. For what it's for it does the job. Trust Me.
 If "0" was an option, that's what I would've given this July 12, 2007

Awful, awful, awful lyrics....why does it have to be all about SEX. Can we sing about something else....why do lyrics today have to be so raunchy, just straight up nasty! Are they that crazed for SEX. Teens today need to know that other things exist other than sex, violence, and drugs...there's nothing "special" about this at all.

So I was kind of skeptical about this cd. But I gave it a try anyway. And I am pretty glad that I did. The cd is great! All the songs are good and the boys blend the vocals and rapping perfectly. The rap lyrics, could have been stepped up a bit though. The beats are well produced too. Overall, I say Pretty Ricky did their thing on this album. They don't even begin to compare to Jodeci, but they are worth checking out.
