Review from allmusic.com
by Andrew Hamilton

A marvelous compilation of Johnny Gill's Motown sides. Someone was even
thoughtful enough to include "There U Go," an overlooked gem from the
Boomerang soundtrack. Gill's lusty baritone is a flexible instrument, and he has
complete control over it, never failing to conjure an emotion from listeners. He
doesn't sing for himself, he sings to please others, and it shows in his phrasing
and delivery. Johnny outdoes himself with an absolutely marvelous vocal on
"If You're Wondering," arguably one of the best urban ballads of the '90s.
Gill's vocal range amazes on the lilting, dreamy concoction that is better known
in Europe. A duet with childhood friend Stacy Lattisaw, "Where Do I Go From
Here," shows their vocal skills but is too predictable; it's one of those tunes
you think you heard before, but Lattisaw still sounds luscious belting out the
love tale. Johnny proves he can sing hip-hop by hitting the #1 spot on
Billboard's R&B Chart with "Rub You the Right Way," an energetic workout for
the balladeer. "My, My, My" also topped the R&B chart in July 1990. Just as
good is the irresistible "Wrapped My Body Tight" with its incessant beat. A
great package of Gill.
