Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "A collision of warm singing and playing behind coolly calculated verbal stilettos...", Voted Best Reissue Album in the 1995 Critic's Poll., Included in Q Magazine's "Best Relationship Albums Of All Time" - "...due to the chaotic state of his finances Gaye was ordered to give the profits of his next album to his ex-wife Anna Gordy. Result: this bizarre but gripping double, a bitterness concept album designed to make as little money as possible...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The most audacious, outrageous, darkly fascinating, musically complex and compelling work of Marvin's career.", "...incorporates all of his techniques: sweet doo-wop romanticism...pop-gospel yearnings...and soul abandon...amid what could be called his most personal of records...Gaye may have been at his most lucid: vocally inventive, musically experimental, and finally, emotionally unrestrained....", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is Gaye's most playable album....Gaye was the rare overextended romantic wreck who could make something of his failures.", "HERE, MY DEAR is arguably the most untethered ode to the dissolution of love ever recorded....One of pop's defining concept works.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The artist within prevailed and his flaying of every slippery, hurtful machination two people could possibly immerse themselves in during divorce gave way to a blunt appraisal of the relationship...", Included in AP's "10 Essential Breakup Albums" - "...Some of the most personal material he ever recorded...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With his heart worn firmly on his sleeve and with music at turns mournful and transcendental....Thirty years on it still sounds dangerous, illicit and thrilling."
