Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant appear on "Word to the Mutha!", making for a New Edition reunion.[4]
Critical reception
editThe Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that "the beefed up beats are generally a plus," but panned the New Edition reunion.[3] The Sun Sentinel called the album "unimaginative," writing that "buried underneath all this remixing, heavy studio gimmickry, scratching and technological gymnastics, the group's vocals are barely audible."[6] The Globe and Mail wrote that "deejays and those who live to dance will revel in the furious, bottom-heavy rhythms."[7]
