Adult contemporary R&B. This CD is still in rotation at my house, in my car and at my office. Each and every song, sounds as good as they did when he released this gem. This CD displayed how much Babyface matured over the years. Poignant pleading jams, tasty midtempo jams, juicy slow jams and fast paced, finger popping, sing with me..jams! This CD has it all start to finish...I promise you! ~ Jerzygurl<br />

One of the best albums of 1993, and makes mincemeat out of all his other albums. Contrary to what many people say, I think this album makes a good argument against the accepted belief that Babyface makes better music for other people than he does for himself. "Never Keeping Secrets", "And Our Feelings", "When Can I See You", and the title song were all over urban contemporary radio in 1993-94; just as good were "Lady Lady" and "A Bit Old Fashioned." I bought the cassette back in '93, and the first time I listened to it was in the car one night when my mom and I were on our way back from eating out, and to this day, whenever I'm in the neighborhood where that restaurant used to be, I always think of this album. ~ Glen Zimmerman "BevisButts"<br />

For The Cool In You is the follow-up to Babyface's debut solo career and did not lose his step from Tender Lover. This LP was entirely produced by Babyface, L.A. Reid & Daryl Simmons and Face wrote and or co-wrote eleven of the twelve featured songs on here. The only one that was not is a remake of "You Are So Beautiful" and it is just that. The formula here is good wholesome R&B with a pop twist to it. As for a standout, the acoustic driven "When Can I See You Again" balances this album for a more sincere feeling. The two titles that are more or less up-tempo is the title track and "Saturday" as the remainder is either slow or laid back. Lyrically Face has captured the full extent of a true relationship from asking for the initial commitment in "Lady, Lady" to the devastating breakup in "And Our Feelings". But, this is Babyface and one should expect nothing but the best. ~ Carltouis Stevenson<br />
