Amazon.co.uk Review
Waiting to Exhale is the exception that proves the rule about mish-mash 1990s soundtrack albums. Even though it features 22 different female voices, the album boasts a rare continuity because Babyface wrote or co-wrote 15 of the songs and produced all 16. Moreover, the gifted R&B artist used every song to explore the film's theme of women trying to balance self-respect and romantic desire. Not only has Babyface (née Kenny Edmonds) created a fascinating song suite, he has produced one of the best middle-of-the-road-pop, adult-contemporary albums of the decade. Mary J. Blige stakes out a claim as the new diva on the block with an astonishing performance on "Not Gon' Cry". Babyface's music and lyrics suggest a woman barely holding back a swelling flood of anger and heartache, and Blige's brilliant vocal captures both the agitation and the restraint. --Geoffrey Himes

A very brilliant album. Full of soulful songs, has a very nostalgic feel about it. Its the sort of album that lingers in one's memory for all time. The lyrics of the song ring so true for anyone that has been loved and hurt. Brilliant buy. Very well worth having.
