HMV Review

Lionel Richie's eighth studio album as a solo artist is led by I Call It Love, a lightly buoyant and bittersweet single produced by Swedish hitmakers Stargate, the same team that helped boost Ne-Yo's In My Own Words. It's an ideal match, one that should've been made more than once. Too much of Coming Home is merely pleasant -- particularly the adult contemporary fare, with the exception of I Love You -- or too conscious of remaining with the times. While the likes of Why and Up All Night involved Richie's songwriting in some capacity, just about any twentysomething vocalist could be fronting them; the same goes for the Jermaine Dupri-produced What You Are. The stab at emotionally cleansing reggae of the Bob Marley variety, Stand Down, comes up short as well. That said, at least half the album should satisfy Richie's longtime followers. [The deluxe edition adds a DVD containing four selections from Richie's perfomance at the 2006 New Orleans Jazz Fest.] ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

    ベテラン健在で予想以上に良い出来のアルバムです。全盛時のような大作はありませんが、もともとミディアム〜スローの歌唱力は抜群でしたし、スターゲイト、ラファエル、チャッキーなどのプロデューサーとの愛称も良いようです。サンプルの曲順がUSA盤と違うようですが、1.2.3.6当たりが特に良いです。6曲目のI’m coming home をさらっと歌い上げる力量はいぶし銀の味です。
