"Heartfelt, original, moving, and expressive. Leonard Dozier succeeds at anything he puts his mind to, and the music on this album stands as a testament to that. The songs on The Tears I Cry illustrate his challenging journey with evocative songwriting, top-tier musical performance, and excellence in production to tie it all together. Fans of classic, modern, and out-of-the-box R&B styles will find so much to enjoy on this album."
