AMG Review of To the Extreme

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

On the strength of the incessantly catchy single "Ice Ice Baby," To the Extreme was an enormous success, holding the number one slot for 16 weeks and selling over seven million copies in America. Apart from that single and a cover of Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music," the album was unmemorable, with limp beats and tepid rhymes.
