What does the best-selling R&B group of all time do to follow up the worldwide success of their Grammy-nominated album, Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA? What comes next for a four-time Grammy-winning act that is a global concert attraction, that has sold over 60 million recordings, and that will begin its 20th anniversary celebration in 2010?
Already big stars courtesy of their debut, Cooleyhighharmony, the Boyz blasted off into superstar orbit on this CD. Of course those lush harmonies had a little something to wrap themselves around; namely the magnificent ballads "I'll Make Love to You"(which broke the chart record of the earlier "End of the Road" ) and "On Bended Knee." Corny? Si. Wholesome? And how. Obviously that didn't stop the biggest male vocal act of the '90s from crooning all the way to the bank, several million times over. — Amy Linden

- Boyz II Men at the pick of R&B
- This CD came out at time ('94) that I call the pick of R&B. This was also the time when super producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were all the over the show (pun intended) as evidenced by the tracks "I'll Make Love To You" and "On Bended Knee" and yes so was Babyface on "Water Runs Dry".

- The boyz became men
- CooleyHighHarmony is a classic album that has yet to be topped by any of these so-called R&B artists that are out now. Boyz II Men put Philly on the map as well as laid themselves a strong foundation in R&B with that album. There was only one way they could have went after Cooleyhighharmony: up. And they did with this superb sophomore… More reviews
- Makes many top 100's in my book!
- As a crazed music fanatic, looking back I will have to say that I have given this album an astonishing number of spins. It sounds as fresh as the day it was released in '94. Each masterpiece on this album was pieced together so smoothly because of the fluctuating tempos. Not only is II the group's best album but I think its one of the greatest albums of the 1990's… More reviews

But the best song of all is "Fifty… More reviews
