Johnny Gill - Johnny Gill

Review from allmusic.com
by Andrew Hamilton
Atlantic Records brought in the heavy artillery for Johnny Gill's first album.
Producer, Freddie Perren came with a long resumé of hit productions by the
Jacksons, Tavares, the Sylvers, and others. The combination flowed on paper
but didn't jell in the studio -- no chemistry. Perhaps this is why Atlantic titled
Gill's second LP Chemistry. "Super Love" has a heavy, thud-beat that's
derivative and mundane; ditto for "Guilty" -- a song needs more than just a
wicked bassline. A remake of Sam & Dave's "When Something Is Wrong With
My Baby" is easily the best ballad. The others -- "Thank You," "Show Her
Love," "I'm Sorry," and "You" -- are average and indistinguishable. "I Love
Makin' Music" is the best of the uptempo numbers, but when you consider the
others, that's not saying much.
