A hot pop-radio item in the early and middle '90s, Jon Secada makes a bid to return to his previous multiplatinum status with <I>Better Part of Me</I>. Led by "Stop," a catchy if somewhat bland single that appears in both English and Spanish, the album carries on in the vein of Secada's past work, melding dramatic but not overdone vocals with Latin-lite elements (the acoustic guitar plucking of "Love's About to Change My Mind" and the salsa-meets-surf blend of "Papi") and production touches that are sure to garner the disc play time in a variety of dance-floor settings. While the material is an unsurprisingly mixed bag, the best of it will appeal to Ricky and Marc fans who are ready to (re-)embrace another heartthrob. <I>--Rickey Wright</I>

3 out of 5 stars An OK cd........2007-03-05

I thought this cd was just OK, not his best in my opinion. I would only recommend it to die hard JS fans. I found that the different versions of some of the same songs were not necessary & that they were just used as filler. They could have put some different songs on there as just one version of each of the songs is enough I think. Get some of his other cds, which are better, check out my reviews of this other cds.

5 out of 5 stars One of the most underated singers.......2005-09-06

Jon Secada is brilliant. It's a shame that more people don't know that. I love this cd. The four best songs are, Stop, Speak to the Wind, Better Part of Me and my absolute favourite is Love's About to Change My Mind. I can't understand why he's not been a bigger artist. There is good latin routed sounds on this album and there's a good mix of fast and slow songs. I know you'll love this cd. I do. I wish he'd bring out another english cd.

5 out of 5 stars For anyone that loves good music.......2004-06-06

This album is really good and has Jon's smooth and commanding vocals on it. The Dance-Pop songs like "Papi" and the hit single "Stop" are really good. He really shines on the ballads such as "Break My Walls", "Lost Inside of You",etc., one see why one likes him so much. The album pretty stylish and really good overall. Don't sleep on this CD anyone, this quality music here!

2 out of 5 stars This "Better" Is Far From His Best.......2001-06-06

It's such a shame to see the trajectory with which Jon Secada's once promising career has taken. His last album, probably his best, all but bombed underneath the massive lack of marketing, and this album has met a similar fate, though deservedly so. This is by far his weakest effort, full of sappy adult contemporary ballads that not even his great voice can save. The record moves at a snail's pace, with the occasional uptempo number thrown in. Overall, a wasted effort from someone clearly wasting his vast talent.
