Amazon.co.uk Review
If the mark of the skilful Lothario is the one who knows to always tell his lover what she wants to hear, surely Def Jam?s R&B sensation Ne-Yo--aka Los Angeles singer-songwriter Shaffer Chimere Smith--is one of the greatest of them all. On third album Year of the Gentleman, Chimere channels his hitmaking talents into a suite of R&B songs that more respectful than rampant in their approach to the romancing. "Single" is a song that reaches out to all the lonely girls, Ne-Yo promising "I'll be your boyfriend til the song goes off", while the Stargate-produced "Miss Independent", lit up by neon synthesisers, suggests Smith isn't too concerned with his own machismo to test out flipping the traditional gender roles, serenading a girl who's a player in her own right: "Everything she got, you bet she bought it". The album is at its best with the central, two-song movement of "Why Does She Stay" and "Fade Into the Background"--the former, Ne-Yo questioning his own neglectful nature over a backdrop of shimmering keys, the latter a sombre piece that finds our narrator accepting the news his lover has found another with a rare, heart-rending magnanimity. --Louis Pattison

 "FANTASTIC" November 7, 2008
This has to be one of the best albums I have bought in a long time. Every track is good usually there is always a couple of songs that don't do it for you but every track is great.
This is my first Neyo CD but not the last.
Best album I have heard in a long while. October 30, 2008
Just bought this album on the weekend and have not stopped listening to it since. For me it is a natural progression from the last album. Other reviewers have complained of the likeness to Micheal Jackson. Yes, there is a hint of Michael Jackson in there but that's not a bad thing. Think Jacko in his heyday of Thriller or Bad and you will get the idea. Anyway, I personally think that Prince is more of an influence to Ne-yo's singing style than anyone else.
This album really is Ne-yo's best work. Its a combination of smooth R'n'B and pop. It is a very slick album - top notch production and writing. My favourite tracks are Closer , Part of the list, Stop this world and Single. In fact, the only track that hasn't hooked me is Nobody. As an album the mix of R'n'B ballads, like "Part of the List", and more uptempo beats, like "Single", really works. It's the kind of album you can listen to all the way through without reaching for the skip button.
My advice is, if you are into R'n'B then go for it and buy this album.
The bad bo of R and B is back October 28, 2008
This album is immense, forget the singles you have heard and the mans image, the album tracks. The album is mostly made up of songs that Ne-Yo has been making with his mate usher and wycliffe from the refugees who is his dad. Track one tells of Ne-Yo's recent trouble with gambling addiction and O.C.D. that ended his relationship with Grace Jones. The last song is a fitting tribute to puff daddy who has recently been diagnosed with Chrome's disease.
This is ne-yo's best album to date October 22, 2008
I love this album so much,i brought it the first day it came out and i just can't stop listening 2 this album.This album is his best to date.Here's a review of each track:
Closer-10/10 A great dance track, i love this track i don't care that this isn't what ne-yo normally does,ne-yo is defo the best rnb artist out there at the moment that's why this song went 2 number 1
Nobody-10/10 Another great dance feelgood track from ne-yo nobody cuts like her nobody nobody,this song is just fire
Single-10/10 This is nkonb's new song,but ne-yo's album version is much better,this is one of my favourite cuts on the album
Mad-10/10 Ne-yo so needs 2 release this as a single it would defo go straight to number 1 one of my favourite songs on the album
Miss independent-10/10 I love this song it's really insipiring 2 all the independent women out there love you ne-yo
Why does she stay-10/10 This song is a tune
Fade into the background-10/10 Another great song from ne-yo,i wonder if he is talking about his ex,if you have heard this song you will know what i am talking about
So you can cry-10/10 I love this song espically the last verse
Part of the list-10/10 This song is brillant i hope he also releases this as a single, i could listen to this song all the time,another favourite of mine.
Back to what you know-10/10 This is also one of my favourite songs off the album, a fire track
Lie to me-9/10 I like this song but i still not sure about the song,he defo sounds like micheal jackson when he is singing desperatley in the bridge of the song
Stop this world-10/10 A great slow jam from ne-yo another favourite song of mine
What's the matter-9/10 I like this song but i feel that the last song on ne-yo's albums are not always that good apart from his first album
You need to get this album in your collection if you have'nt got it yet what are you waiting for
