"the song of carey's career, where the lyrical strokes are as broad and obvious as they are naked. mariah the chanter flawlessly adapts to their singsong style, largely boxing her multi-octave range into a sly, hypnotic melody so that when she really wails at the end, you really feel it. carey lunges toward musical maturity by embracing, not shunning hip-hop. this is the height of her elegance and maybe hip-hop-soul's, too."
