Not a huge Maxwell fan, but this was probably the best album of the "Neo Soul" era artists.

This one seems to be the fave among his fans and/or casual fans.

I think my fave is "Embrya".

Still one of the landmark recordings from the 90's. It was a huge leap for the whole R&B game and Maxwell killed it with this one. I still play this album...

I never got the big deal
about Maxwell...
his stuff is nice
but a bit boring to me
I haven't matured
to his level just yet

Embrya I do own
and enjoy
but it's not very often
I dig for a Maxwell record

It's a great album (his best IMO), but I think it's very overrated. At the risk of bringing up a tired old comparison, I don't think it holds a candle to either of D'Angelo's albums.

Very good album. I still play it and its his best. (4.5/5)

It was always compared with D'Angelo's 'Brown Sugar'.

Top 10 fave album of all time. I still feels fresh everytime I listen to it.
I love Maxwell. He could sing the 50 states to me.

I love this album. It is one of my top favorites from the 90s. This album was one of the few that actually brought back different elements of r&b music that had kind of gotten lost in the NJS era. Some people classify this album as neo soul, but I think its a straight-up r&b album. How can anyone not like Acension.

Please. Can we reserve "classic" for truly deserving projects? Like Alice Smith's killer album?

The CD singles all featured new recorded versions and/or extended versions of the songs.
