Production, courtesy of P. Diddy, the Full Force crew, and Mario Winans, among others, is witty and imaginative, particularly on the Force-produced, Eastern-inflected "I Need That (I Want That)" featuring Lil' Kim, a cut that's unique enough to stand out from the usual R&B fare.The Diddy-produced "I Do" is stripped-down dance music, its spare rhythms enhanced by a skipping synth figure and a chorus as catchy as winter flu. A GIRL CAN MACK is divided between such club fare and slinky, sexy cuts such as "This Goes Out" and the deep after-hours soul of "Good Good Girl," and the LW prove here they're adept at covering both bases.

Editorial Reviews
...Slickly produced, beat-heavy, bass-driven grooves that fit snugly around the trio's breathy harmonies...
Vibe (20021101)

3 stars out of 5 - ...This is smartly-dressed R&B filled with sexual overtones and lots of 'booty' shaking...
