Critic's Review
Ed Hogan, All Music Guide
Love Unlimited's best LP was In Heat. All of the right elements came together for the group and their mentor/producer, Barry White, who co-wrote most of the songs and did some arranging. The cornerstone of the album is the elegant ballad "I Belong to You." Arranged by Gene Page, the trio's biggest hit went to number one R&B and number 27 Pop on Billboard's charts in late 1974. The album version is longer than what's commonly heard on the radio. The luscious follow-up, "Share a Little Love in Your Heart," made it to number 21 R&B in spring 1975. The album brimmed with appetizing standout tracks: "Move Me No Mountain," "I Needed Love-You Were There," and a lyric-laced version of the perennial favorite "Love's Theme." Several tracks from In Heat are on 1997's Best of Love Unlimited.
