This is the Whitney album that made me into a mini stan. I liked her first two albums and had both on cassette but some of that was because my mother wanted them to. However when I heard the song “I’m Your Baby Tonight” I was hooked and needed this album. Enough that I think I had a few yard sales to pay for the cassette. Lol I loved this album. I was 13/14 at the time. When I first heard “All The Man That I Need” I got chills all over my body. “My Name Is Not Susan and Anymore” were instant for me. I actually performed “Anymore” a couple of times in 1996 in drag and people would always ask me what song it was. Lol “Miracle” was stunning in my opinion and I liked “I Belong To You” but didn’t care for fan favorite “Lover For Life” all that much. At the time smooth midtempos weren’t my thing so I’m surprised I took to “I Belong To You” so quickly. I was also never offended by “We Didn’t Know” and loved her performance of it on The Arsineo Hall Show. I didn’t realize that most Whitney fans dislike this track. The remaining tracks never bothered me either. For awhile this was my favorite Whitney album and I’m happy I ran into this thread because it got me listening to some of the songs again.

I've never cared for most of the production on this album and I don't think she sounds particularly convincing singing most of it either. It's one of those weird transitional albums that's stuck between the 80's and 90's and doesn't fully succeed at either sound. "I'm Your Baby Tonight" is great, but the other Babyface/LA Reid material falls flat production-wise. "All The Man I Need" remains one of her finest moments. And "I Belong To You" is a winner. The rest? Pleasant filler.
