Soul has been through a lot of changes of late, and if there seems to be an oversupply of young divas-in-waiting today, you can probably thank Anita Baker for it. Baker was one of the few singers that bridged the old school to the new, and this 1986 album was — and is — a true soul classic. An inspiration for everyone from Whitney Houston to Toni Braxton, Baker carved the way with soaring vocals and an effortless style on tracks like "Sweet Love" and "You Bring Me Joy." "Caught Up in the Rapture" was the anthem for many a lovestruck couple, and Baker sums it up best herself in the same song: "Nothing else can compare." — Rebecca Wallwork

- Classic Anita
- All I will say is that I wish Anita still sounded this good. Her warbling lately has become an incoherent mess. This is crisp and clear and the Anita Baker I remember. As for buying it used, I wish the seller had not written on the CD, but it doesn't affect the ability to play it, so it's fine. More reviews

- Rapture
- From the opening piano chords of `Sweet Love', you know there is a good song coming. `Sweet Love' is just one of those soul songs that people who say don't like soul music like. This CD is superb, with some heart-tugging songs. If you want to listen to music that has an effortless delivery, that has heart felt lyrics that are… More reviews
- Like Butter!!!
- I think, if I'm not mistaken, what makes this recording stand out from her first album was the fact that she was the producer. Once she took the reigns in the studio, she never looked back. The love songs are pure and honest. Anita Baker stood out because, she has an influence of Jazz. This… More reviews
