All the Man You Need was hailed as Will Downing's return to R&B music. Though after a listen, there isn't a huge difference between this album and his R&B\u002Fsmooth jazz-oriented recordings of the mid- to late '90s; which isn't a bad thing. Though the beats may hit a little harder and there's more adherence to R&B ballad song structure, the focus is still on Downing's warm baritone vocals, soothing production, and good songs. The singer makes fine use of a soaring sample from Noel Pointer's cover of Stevie Wonder's Superwoman on the breezy Share My World. Other highlights are Real Soon, the Downing\u002FChante Moore duet When You Need Me, the snappy, ultra jazzy Tired Melody, a string-laced cover of Bill Withers' Grandma's Hands, and the smooth, skirting title track. Fans of Will Downing and adult-oriented R&B music will be thoroughly pleased.
