Heartbreak II is the eighth studio album by American R&B group Jagged Edge.
The album, presented as a sequel to their 2000 commercial breakthrough, is heavy on the type of slow jams – vulnerable but swaggering with deeply resonant basslines – for which the group has been known.
There's a particularly fine stretch from the fourth through sixth tracks, all plush ballads [...] Jagged Edge's attitude here seems to be a commendable "This is us, take it or leave it."
"[1] Parlé's Kevin Benoit concluded that "as per usual, especially on the recent material from the group, there isn’t much room for anything besides hit records.
"[2] The album debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 12,572 copies in the United States.
