Even Barry Bonds misses a pitch now and then, so let's cut Steven Curtis Chapman a little slack with the less-than-spectacular All About Love. After all, Chapman is riding an incredible wave of success on the heels of back-to-back brilliant releases, Speechless and Declaration. But this follow-up to the dynamic duo finds Chapman touting a collection of "true love" songs that are noble in intent but stylistically drab, including a perplexing cover of the Proclaimers' 1980s hit "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." It's not all flat, though. The title track, "How Do I Love Her," and "Moment Made for Worshipping" are classic Chapman with lyrical contemporary references balanced against age-old wisdom, all buoyed by lively guitar-driven rock. But the remainder of the release seems all too common for an artist who has previously set the bar much higher. --Michael Lyttle

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) A Boring Pause........   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
This album has to be the weakest album of all of SCC's current work. Granted it takes up the theme of love , mainly to his wife but I feel this was a very self indulgent effort and one that should have remained a private one. The songs just don't cut it and the bottom line is after hitting his stride this album really threw many SCC fans for a loop and one that I think many haven't gotten over when you look at the sales of the last 2 albums , which are stellar by the way. It has a few excellent cuts but that is all I can say . I have it to make my collection complete but I think I have played a handful of times which is an oddity for me when its comes to SCC recordings.

2) Best SCC Album!!!!!!!!!!!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I like some of SCC songs but this is by far his best album. It contains a lot of love songs that he sings to and about his wife. It just is a great love album for all of those not interested in the worlds point of view of love but a Godly point of view. I would recommend this to all of those in love or married who just need a great love album. Standout songs are "When Love Takes you In" "Youve Got ME" the cover song "Im gonna be (500 miles)" and "I will Be Here"

3) Fabulous, inspirational wedding music   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This CD is amazing. Nearly every song is a "WOW!" I believe it is one of his best CD's, that has come from his heart. BUY IT!!!

4) Another great CD by SCC   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Due to the title, "All About Love" and after reading several reviews, I expected this CD to be very mellow and somewhat sappy. When I first played it, I was in a mellow mood and wanted to relax. However, the CD is not what I expected. It is classic SCC, with catchy rhythms and as always, with amazing lyrics. His remake of the Proclaimer's "I'm gonna be (500 miles)" is just as good, if not better, than the original. "We belong together (Tarzan and Jane)" is another upbeat number. The song, "11-6-64" is a touching number about the day his wife was born. Steven has added two songs from previous CD's, "I will be here" and "When love takes you in" which adds themselves nicely to this wonderful CD containing 16 songs. If you are a SCC fan, you definitely need to purchase this CD. At the same time I bought "All About Love," I also purchased Steven's CD entitled "Declaration." In my opinion, "Declaration" is one of the best CD's SCC has ever recorded. So, do yourself a favor - purchase both...You'll be glad you did.

5) Reviewer Way Off The Mark   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
OK, folks....I'm an SCC fan from a ways back and I don't understand why this album wouldn't deserve anything but 5 stars. "500 Miles" I could do without and I always skip over it, but that's the ONLY low point on this CD. This one never gets old. The thinking behind "11-6-64" is so smart and FLATTERING to his wife. Wouldn't all women love for a man to write about how our husband's life changed the day we were born? The fact that he's acknowledging God's purpose for marital love is refreshing. And the hauntingly beautiful "When Love Takes You In" (yes, I know it's a re-release) makes the entire CD worthwhile. My sister adopted a little boy from Russia and I plan on framing the lyrics for her for Christmas. Buy this CD, you won't be disappointed.
