Despite a couple of bland tracks and an overlong running time, Secada is a fine return to English-language adult contemporary pop by Jon Secada. While the songs aren’t always distinctive, Secada’s voice is clear, pure, and lovely, making even the weakest songs tolerable. Only a handful of songs are first-rate — including the single “Too Late, Too Soon” — but the record is pleasant and makes for fine background music. – Rodney Batdorf
