One of 2004's Best
author: Chris Rizik - Soul Tracks
Those looking for the third part of the Trilogy following Goodman’s two earlier recordings will be somewhat surprised by Angel Eyes. After leading off with the Latin sound of “Brazilian Nights” and a jazzy cover of the standard “Angel Eyes,” the album moves in to contemporary Urban Adult Contemporary territory, and does it very effectively. While bearing a gorgeous voice that mixes elements of Chaka Khan, Minnie Ripperton, Patti Austin and Stephanie Mills (all pretty good company), Goodman’s strongest suit may be her interpretive skills, making even oft-covered songs new and distinctive. This is particularly evident on the album’s most surprising cut, an upbeat jazzy dance cover of Steve Miller’s “Fly Like An Eagle” that blows the original away and immediately becomes the definitive version of that song. UAC and Smooth Jazz radio should pick up on this cut; it is dynamite.

Her best album yet!
author: Barry Towler "The Lowdown"
I have follwed this lovely Lady since her guesting on Norman Connors' "Passion" album back in 1988. This album is definately her best offering to date and is aimed full square at the lover and connoiseur of strong soulful jazz. With appearances from Armsted Christian and saxophonist Walter Beasley this well-balanced CD fits Latin flavours with jazzy floaters and soulful, passionate love songs. My favourites include the gorgeous Angel Eyes, the scorching duet with Armsted Christian on Never Knew Love Could Be Like This Before and the Todd Rundgren flavoured soulful Sometimes. Definately one of the classiest CDs of 2003. A no-risk disc.
