K-Ci & JoJo's career as a duo is what greatest-hits compilations were made for. None of their four albums, released between 1997 and 2002, are thoroughly satisfying, yet not without some major highlights -- the dozen-plus chart hits they've stacked help indicate that.
All My Life: Their Greatest Hits contains most of those hits and adds a handful of album cuts that deserved more attention. Crucially, the disc also includes
K-Ci's
Mtume-produced cover of
Bobby Womack's "If You Think You're Lonely Now," the biggest reason why copies of the
Jason's Lyric soundtrack were flying out of record stores for a couple months during 1994. If you've loved what you've heard on the radio but never sought out any of the albums, this disc is an ideal way to remedy that.
K-Ci & JoJo never made waves like their previous group,
Jodeci, but their output is further evidence that soul music has not died. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
