"On ‘Keep You Satisfied’ Wilson turned to Japanese producer, Kiyoshi Itoh, and his arranger, Masahiko Satoh, whom the singer had worked with on two previous albums (‘I’ll Be A Song’ and ‘Godsend’) for the Interface label. They knew how to bring out the best in Wilson, finding sympathetic (and organic) arrangements plus contemporary material that suited her slightly acerbic, tart delivery and brought her sound up to date without compromising her musical integrity. Though the material includes a cover of George Michael’s pop perennial ‘Careless Whisper,’ there’s nothing crass or cringe-worthy about it; in fact, Wilson makes the song her own, transforming it into mid-tempo soul groove. Other highlights are the slow-building opener, ‘Just To Keep You In My Life,’ which rides on a sinuous groove, plus a fresh take on Rufus and Chaka Khan’s ‘Heaven Bound’ and a beautifully sensuous rendition of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Just To Keep You Satisfied.’" (soul&jazz&funk)
"Nancy Wilson's R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) is her duets album, but unlike other recent releases by singers in this format, which feature two vocalists (and often oddly matched ones, at that), most of the pairings here are with instrumentalists like George Shearing, Toots Thielemans, Phil Woods, and Gary Burton, which means this remains very much Wilson's baby, dominated by her hushed and elegant vocals. Only two tracks feature other vocalists. Less pop than her recent outings, R.S.V.P. is mostly made up of ballads, highlighted by a wonderful version of Gordon Jenkins' "Goodbye" and the elegant, late-night regret of "Blame It on My Youth" which closes out the set. It shows that Wilson can still wring every last emotion on earth out of a ballad -- then return to sing the second verse." (AllMusic)
