Reviews:

Just because Ne-Yo's debut album went double platinum, that doesn't excuse the fact that the follow-up has a song called "Sex With My Ex" on it. Come on, even "Afternoon Delight" wasn't just called "Doin' it in the Afternoon." Fortunately it's just one of 12 on Because of You, for which the R&B crooner/songwriter/scourge of Victory Records scored guest appearances from Jay-Z on "Call Me Crazy" and Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson on "Leaving Tonight."
