Now I will admit that I have never even seriously thought about purchasing a MB cd though I have enjoyed his tv performances. This is just not my kind of music. However in my attempt to branch out a bit, I gave "Crazy Love" a try and found myself really enjoying the music. From the first beats of "Cry Me A River" I was hooked. By the time I got to "Heartache Tonight" and Baby (you've got what it takes) I was a fan. As a person who doesn't like to listen to "old standards" and song covers, I was skeptical I would enjoy it. But this cd left me in a better happier mood than before I started and I was in a great mood for hours after I stopped listening. Thanks, Michael! I needed that!

I have to admit that although I have always enjoyed seeing HCJ perform on tv, I have never bought a single cd of his. I was excited to get this, my first HCJ cd. I hope, as others have reviewed, that this does not represent the quality of other cd's. I felt like I was listening to my mother's music (although I have to admit she will probably enjoy it very much). Within the first 10 minutes I had moved from my computer to my couch and was nearly asleep. I had to stop. If that's what easy listening does it's a good sleep aid for me. After reading other reviews I went back and finished the cd. "Smile" is one of my favorite songs, and I love it in just about any form. I am really glad I went back and listened, but I don't know if I will ever be the kind of person who enjoys this type of music. Still enjoy watching Harry perform though!
What's great about it: Good background, dinner party, put the baby to sleep music

I really enjoyed every song on this cd. My husband's favorites were Ariel and Forgiveness. I have listened to this cd several times and it would be the first one in my ipod on vacation or in my car for that long drive with the windows down.
What's great about it: Put me in a good mod without being "poppy"
What's not so great: I liked it more than my husband did.

In listening to this cd for the first time I found myself thinking that it would be really good music for the beach or a pool party, when you have to be aware of those around you. There is absolutely nothing offensive in the lyrics, the music is upbeat and catchy, and is more N Sync in style than Hannah Montana with a bit of Jonas Brothers. I do think the entire record would have been much more enjoyable if the female backup vocals were heard more-her voice is lovely. Safe for the young and old, not as obnoxious as some for the parents.
What's great about it: Clean Lyrics, Dance-Pop Beat
What's not so great: More geared for the Teen and Tween set
