...Kravitz make a slick but shallow couple. On cuts like Your Love Has Got a Handle on My Mind, Paradis's slinky, coquettish voice lightens Kravitz's ponderous touch, but even their best songs have a predictable, surface appeal and no emotional depth.

Miller has been in the pulpit so long that he can't completely shake the preacher's jeremiad cadences from his voice, even when he wants to whisper.
