The legend of
Whitney Houston began with this self-titled album. It marked her shift away from the
experimental songs she did with the group
Material and a move into heavily produced, very slick
urban contemporary and
adult pop. Although
Houston had learned her craft working in New York nightclubs and singing in a Baptist church in Newark, she was steered into radio-friendly
ballads that emphasized style over substance. The album did yield an unprecedented string of number one hits, but
"Saving All My Love for You" and
"How Will I Know" created an impression of an incredibly talented vocalist using only a minimum of her skills. It also contained one of her few legitimate
soul workouts in
"The Greatest Love of All." ~Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
