Under the Streetlight

Under the Streetlight
Accordingly, the production and arrangements are conservative throughout. The songs are pretty, charming, oft-covered, and of the well-crafted ilk from bygone eras just before everything got as righteous and psychedelic of the movement times to come. The vocals throughout are heavy with jazz riffs and church runs to try to liven up The Great American Bandstand Songbook and give them a contemporary feel, if by contemporary we meant 1994 by way of 1954. - Soul Tracks

Back to not being terribly original it seems, but such is the paucity of our musical times that few will care.

There really isn’t anything truly negative to say, it’s a lovely album but at the end of the day, its lovely impression fades soon after the last track ends. I think if I want to revisit old memories I’ll just pull out 1994’s II. Rating: 3/5

Cryptic Rock
Overall, this new collection of covers by Boyz II Men is what listeners should continue to expect from the group who have changed so much, broken down so many barriers, and sparked so many of the trends in music which we use today. Rating: 4.5/5

They could probably knock out similar projects every few weeks and consistently attract listeners who won't tire of hearing refreshed classics. Rating: 3.5/5

While the three remaining members of the group, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman, are superb vocalists, their slickness may have been too much for these covers.

Roots Music Report
90’s hit makers Boyz II Men imbue a well-chosen set of r&b chart toppers from the 50’s and 60’s with their distinctive sound while paying homage to the arrangements that enhanced these gems when first recorded. Rating: 4/5
