This has 14 of the more romantic, urban adult contemporary songs which Teena Marie recorded from 1981 through 1990, including the big hits "Ooo La La La" and "If I Were a Bell." Only about half of the songs appear on Lovergirl: The Teena Marie Story, the best-of collection covering her Epic years, so the overlap is substantial but not overwhelming. "Sunny Skies" is heard here in a previously unreleased extended version. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
