Reflections is a 2006 studio album by American soul group The Temptations. Other than a two-album stint in the late 1970s, this is the group's first recordings after leaving Motown, their home for over 40 years and is made up of cover versions of Motown tracks; it has received positive reviews from critics.
It was G.C.’s last album
before he left the group.




Reception


Editors of AllMusic Guide scored this album 3.5 out of five stars, with reviewer Rob Theakston noting "the quality being surprisingly high for an act with such longevity" and opining that the band appears to be having fun in the studio. A review in Goldmine notes that "the sound is thoroughly contemporary... yet retains enough of the Tempts' impeccable harmonic blend to let you know exactly who's behind the mic".
