Album Intro：
On heart grabbers like 'Be Careful,' writer-producer-arranger R. Kelly surrounds [Sparkle] with blaxploitation-vintage wah-wah guitars, haunting strings, and blue-collar blues; the resulting soul digs far deeper than Kelly's usual bump 'n' grind. -- Entertainment Weekly
On this Chicago native's self-titled debut, her sultry vocalism proves a perfect complement to R. Kelly's musings on love, trust and betrayal. Kelly, who wrote, produced and arranged nearly the entire album, adds his own gritty voice to the recriminative first single, 'Be Careful.' -- USA Today
[Sparkle's] youthful, urban-angel style is innocently wistful but worldly-wise. A seething, resentful duet with [R.] Kelly on 'Be Careful' is sweetly balanced by her version of Minnie Riperton's 'Lovin' You.' -- The Los Angeles Times
