Not his best record--then again, none of them are, though every single one ought to be. Vandross was the first one to come down with Whitney's Syndrome, meaning he's got the chops, but not the taste. Not that he's got the chops to be Al Green (or, for that matter, Barry White), but Vandross on this disc is more frustrating than exhilarating. The man's got it in him, and sometimes, you wonder if he'll ever find it. --Robert Wilonsky

Customer Reviews:

Luther's first taste of Pop/Crossover success........2007-01-07

This multi-platinum selling, Grammy-nominated CD was Luther's first album ever to spawn a major Pop hit--thanks to the title track. It's best numbers, however, are the groovy "She Won't Talk To Me", "Come Back" and "For You To Love" All the other tracks range from merely-acceptable to enjoyable but lack distinction and at times sound too "studio". The voice is there--too bad you can't say the same about the production, orchestration and choice of material.

Decent but I expected more from a great singer.......2006-12-14

Luther Vandross is one of the few singers who has a voice that allows him to sing anything and still sound good. Any Love isn't his strongest CD but does feature classic songs such as the title track and his cover of Major Harris's Love Won't Let Me Wait that out-does the oringial.

Second Time Around Makes The CD.......2006-06-12

Track #9, Second Time Around makes this album/ cd worth the purchase.
In 1976 Luther Vandross first released this song, then titled "The 2nd Time Around" for the now defunct Cotillion Record label. Cotillion operated from 1960 - 1985 as a subsidiary of Atlantic Records.
Luther and his then three member group, recorded two albums on the Cotillion label under the name LUTHER. The album containing this song (Cotillion SD 9907) was self titled "Luther" also, and contained seven songs, all written by Mr Vandross. The most memorable song was "The 2nd Time Around", (side one, song #2, six minutes, twenty five seconds long).
After receiving much fan fare and questions as a solo artist about The 2nd Time Around, Luther decided to re-release the song. I guess that explains the slight change in the title of the song. However, the words and music are still the same. Needless to say, the song is priceless and pure Luther!
Now, if you go waaaaay back with Luther as I do, even before the group Change and songs The Glow of Love and Searching, this cd is a must.
The re-release of track #9 is timeless. It makes the cd a FIVE! Currently this song is not available elsewhere, on any other Luther cds or boxed sets.

I disagree. I feel this was Luther's best album from beginning to end. And I own all of Luther's previous LP's and most of the subsequent.

Excellent!.......2005-08-16

I was born in the 50's so I am a Luther fan. I had this cd but unfortunately someone remove it from my home. Purchase this cd. You will not be sorry.
