Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 8/6/98, pp.67-68

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...EMBRYA is where Maxwell takes his pretensions to the bank...he has the voice and the passion to get away with it; he flexes his charm until over the top feels like the place to be..."

Spin - 8/98, pp.136-137

7 (out of 10) - "...Heavy on lambent surf guitar and hop-a-long wah-wah pedaling, lighter on memorable melodies than its predecessor, EMBRYA comes off as a tad New Agey, art-rock pretentious, emotionally calculated, and sappy. But what great rhythm and blues about the pit of desire doesn't?..."

Entertainment Weekly - 7/10/98, pp.71-72

"...In the course of only two albums, Maxwell has vaulted from wanting to recreate the mood of vintage soul to wanting to make his own combination of Marvin Gaye's LET'S GET IT ON and Stevie Wonder's JOURNEY THROUGH THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS..." - Rating: B+
