CHARACTERS
Characters is the twenty-first studio album by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder released in late 1987. The album features three singles including "Get It", the Grammy-nominated "Skeletons" and "You Will Know", which both reached number one on the Billboard R&B Singles chart (the latter being his final American top 40 hit of his career). -Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
1988 - But even if Characters isn’t quite up to the level of Wonder’s best work, it is still an undeniable pleasure to have him communicating his compelling inner visions to the rest of us.

It was a release that contained some good moments but it is not a place to linger given the quality of his previous work.

Unfortunately, it had long since become clear that Wonder was willing to settle for good pop music without challenging himself to make great pop music.

A rebound, with classic tunes in his usual styles

John McFerrin Music Reviews
I can't fathom a situation where I would ever go out of my way to listen to any of this again. Even hardcore fans can skip this one.

But then his chronic self-importance disappears--the worst it gets is spacy, and Stevie can make spacy a trip when he's on.

There's not a single Wonder classic in sight, and only completist fans really need this.
