The Comfort Zone is the second studio album by American singer and actress Vanessa Williams.

Upon its release, the song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks.

Arion Berger from Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A, writing, "With 14 longish songs, beautifully sequenced and warmly sung, The Comfort Zone is less a pop record than the soundtrack to a giddy, heartfelt R&B stage musical about love — minus the man."

He highlighted "The Comfort Zone", "Running Back to You", "Save the Best for Last", "What Will I Tell My Heart", "Freedom Dance" and "Goodbye", and concluded, "Through it all, the keyboard romps, the drums get busy, and a flute adds occasional breathy punctuation.

In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 24 upon its release in April 1992 before quickly falling out of the top 50.
