AMG Review of Boomerang

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

The soundtrack to Eddie Murphy's comedy #Boomerang is actually better than the film itself. A fair portion of the record is devoted to mediocre material, but most of the album is first-rate contemporary urban soul, hip-hop, and new jack swing, highlighted by a number of massive hit singles, including Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," P.M. Dawn's "I'd Die Without You," Babyface and Toni Braxton's "Give U My Heart," and Toni Braxton's "Love Shoulda Brought You Home."
