| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Producers include: Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Jermaine | | Dupri, Ron "Amen-Ra" Lawrence, Timbaland. | | Engineers include: Brad Gilderman, Drew Coleman, Michael Patterson. | | "A Song For Mama" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and for Best Song Written Specifically For A Motion Picture Or For Television. | | This companion to the 20th Century Fox film SOUL FOOD stands on its own as a solid compilation of mainstream R & B artists, including such performers as En Vogue, Boyz II Men, and Tony Toni Tone. Flawlessly produced by the team of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Tracey E. Edmonds, and Antonio "L.A." Reid, SOUL FOOD is nothing if not soulful, from the tear-jerker "A Song For Mama" by Boyz II Men, to Dru Hill's lush ballad, "We're Not Making Love No More," and Xscape's sexy "Let's Do It Again." |

| | Professional Reviews | | Spin (11/97, pp.144-146)
- 6 (out of 10)
- "...Kenneth `Babyface' Edmonds, who produced, wrote or cowrote seven of this album's 13 tracks,...aims...his music...at the cloistered sanctity of the middle-class parlor....Babyface's ballads...are a kind of integration by melodrama....his music is the ultimate in middle-class insulation..."Entertainment Weekly (9/19/97, p.82)
- "...SOUL FOOD is full of fresh grooves and tasty hooks, [but] it lacks the focus that made [WAITING TO] EXHALE such a breathtaking album....SOUL FOOD seems more like a smorgasbord than a single-course soundtrack. There's a little bit of everything here, from salty rap to sweet soul balladry..." - Rating: B Rap Pages (11/97, p.110)
- "...a quintessential album defining Hip-Hop soul prepared by a master chef who can burn tracks much like Roscoe does on his best day with chicken and waffles..." |
