 Jeffrey Phenomenal, Orchestrations Wanting August 11, 2006
I think Jeffrey pulls off "Rest Of Our Lives", "Caller ID" and "Her Kisses" but the rest of the CD is mediocre because the material doesn't match Jeffrey's excellent voice. I hope the producers of his next CD raise the bar material-wise to match Jeffrey's skillset.
His best post A&M records period album! January 29, 2005

I think that Music Is Life is his best post A&M records album! The songs have better melody, rhythm and Jeffrey Osborne sounds so fabulous vocally. It helps that Jeffrey and another producer produced all of the songs, showing that he had more creative control. I like Caller ID, where he goes after the woman who is with another man by checking the messages on her phone answering machine to see if she is cheating on him. Another surprise is his remake of his former group LTD's Stranger and its familiar, famous NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA section that some R&B singers like R. Kelly have sung on their songs. The last album sounded too elevator music like, but Music Is Life is Jeffrey at his finest.
 Jeffrey Is Back August 5, 2004
After all of these years He still have it. A must have CD. With Jeffrey: Music Is Life, Barrington Henderson: Best Kept Secret, and The Temptations;Legacy is good riding music. Keep up the good work Jeffrey.
 What a disappointment April 26, 2004
There wasn't one song, including stranger, that I liked. I expected selections similar to the album one love and emotional. I wanted those kinds of songs and I didn't get it. The songs seemed empty and quickly put together. Nothing different in the melodies. This CD goes on the back shelf. I am still a fan just not of this album.
 The Voice - Still Phenomenal - the Material - (sigh, sigh) August 26, 2003

It was indeed refreshing and exciting to learn that Jeffrey Osborne, one of the greatest male vocalists R&B has produced, indeed had new product out. Unfortunately, had I not been informed by one of my Amazon Favorite People, I would never have known this new project existed, which, to me says an awful lot about the PR machine from his record label.Quite honestly, the CD is indeed subpar. Once you are over the excitement that Jeffrey has indeed come out with new product, the most discernible ear recognizes that this is a prime example of a voice not being able to overcome mediocre material. Quite frankly, Jeffrey deserves the attention of the top-notch producers of the day. Far too often, veteran artists with real talent are forced by record companies to stay hip, fresh, innovative, blah, blah, blah, and then hand them beat-up producers who are so overwhelmed with the celebrity that the product is lost. To be sure, this CD is mediocre but still well worth being a part of your collection, simply because it is Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, I would venture it is far superior to Luther's latest project "Dance With My Father" but in all honesty, that is not saying much at all! (see my review of Luther's latest project....I was NOT well at all!) In any event, I hope this in indicative of better days and better effort on the part of Jeffrey's label. This is a premiere vocalist who deserves better than this. I certainly hope he gets it.
