The blueprint pretty much stays the same: tasteful, funky neo-soul grooves blended with emotive R&B crooning and spoken word poetry.

Joints like the head-nodder "Supastar" (featuring Common) are in the mix to satisfy the movers and the shakers; but this album really leans towards that sultry, after-hours vibe they demonstrated on their debut, Floetic.

"[3] Renée Graham from Boston Globe called Flo'Ology an album that "shows the duo hasn't lost its potent flow."

remarked: With the presence of Common on "SupaStar," and production from Scott Storch and Raphael Saadiq, this is an album pitched at the American neo-soul market.

Once you accept that, however, you can enjoy the smooth soul of "Let Me In" and "My Apology," and perhaps even the ballad Sometimes "Make Me Smile," where any soppiness is outweighed by Ambrosius's spine-tingling performance.
