AllMusic Review by Alex Henderson

With so many faceless, sound-alike albums having come out of the "new jack
swing" hybrid in the late '80s and early to mid-'90s, it's important to give credit
to the form's more creative and imaginative figures. Along with Guy and
Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe (a New Edition spin-off trio comprised of Ricky
Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe) delivered some of new jack swing's
most worthwhile material. A hard-edged, tough-minded blend of R&B/funk and
hip-hop, Poison was (like Brown's Don't Be Cruel) a radical departure from the
Jackson 5-influenced "bubblegum soul" New Edition was originally known for.
Defined by their urgency, rawness, and vitality, "Poison," "B.B.D. (I Thought
It Was Me)?," "Dope!," and "Do Me!" are considered new jack swing classics
and are indeed among the best the style has to offer. Taking a break from the
CD's overall aggression, BBD moves closer to New Edition's sound with the
decent, though far from outstanding, ballads "When Will I See You Again?"
and "I Do Need You." While other "new jacks" were content to simply emulate
Guy, the distinctive BBD deserves applause for daring to stake out its own
territory.
