Really great, informative review! I didn't appreciate the album when it came out but have come to love it as I get older. I think it was just too slow for me in my youth, but what a fantastic album it is. To me, lots of Smokey's solo material is disappointing, almost trite sounding, and I never understood how his songwriting abilities declined so much as a solo. But "Quiet Storm" is easily the happiest exception to any of that!

Monumental album that set the tone for a whole new radio format that became popular years afterwards.

Thanks for posting that review, funkyone. I was all over that album soon as it dropped.
The Agony and Ecstasy I played over and over again...That release actually inspired a new
radio format for late night in New York called, guess what?....Quiet Storm....

Baby That's Backatcha was my favorite off the LP but somehow I felt it should have been a duet.
