Although she has now been eclipsed by younger urban R&B female stars, Houston will stand as the first to bring this type of clean soul music to the world. In the USA alone, this record stayed in the charts for four years, sold fifteen million copies and spent fourteen weeks on top of the charts. It would be churlish to offer any criticism when most of the world would disagree. The immaculate production is by Jermaine Jackson, bank manager is Clive Davis and even the bathing suit on the back cover gets a credit. It is however, with all its slickness, an indispensable soul album

Whitney's First Album: More Screeching Than A "Saved By The Bell" Marathon
by speeddemon531 , 2/18/2006
Pros: You'll dig this if you like the pristine, princess-like version of Whitney.
Cons: Not much to recommend here musically, though.
The Bottom Line: Whitney's screaming on every song can't make up for the banality of the ballads here. People dug this album, but she didn't turn into a good vocalist until later.
