Stylistics, The - Round 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Review by Craig Lytle from allmusic.com

This was the Stylistics' sophomore album and it spawned three Billboard R&B
Top Ten singles: "I'm Stone in Love With You," "Break Up to Make Up," and
"You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)." The first two even
cracked the Top Ten on the pop charts. Furthermore, there is much here to
savor. The vocal quintet's version of the Carole King classic "It's Too Late"
never soars or dips -- it just soothes in spite of the fateful lyric. "Children of
the Night" imparts a similar mood but with a different lyrical content. The two
selections "Peek-A-Boo" and "You're As Right As Rain" are Stylistics originals.
First tenor Russell Thompkins Jr, who leads on all the aforementioned songs,
seems to effortlessly reach each note and hold it as long as necessary.
Although only the first three hit the charts, all of the songs referenced are
radio favorites. As superb as the group was vocally, the production work of
Thom Bell is commendable as well.
