As the first signing to the new Stax Records, reactivated after 30 years by its current owner, Concord Music Group, Angie Stone joins soul legend Isaac Hayes at the top of the roster, which puts the talented singer and songwriter in league with Stax stars Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, Carla Thomas, and others.

New York Times

The album is filled with lush, suavely undulating ballads that have Ms. Stone cooing quietly and intimately. "Making our way like Marvin Gaye," she sings in "Sit Down," one of three sultry invitations tucked in near the end of the album. Jon Pareles

Billboard

Stone remains impressive as a vocalist, an old-school soul with an understated delivery that's more hushed than histrionic. Gary Graff
