Jewel's critique:        
         
After the not so great Canto-debut-album "Sing Lung" in 1986, Jackie released his fourth Japanese record called "Mou Man Tai". The Cantonese title says it already - it's not a Japanese-only record like all his other Japanese albums before. 2 of the songs "Giant Feelings" and "Mou Man Tai (No Problem)" are sung totally in Cantonese. The rest is in Japanese. The album has some classics, real jewels, on it: songs like "Rain of jealousy falls", "Stardust Bay Blues" and "Dream Ties" belong to some of Jackie's best songs ever (in my opinion). "Telephone" is just a spoken Cantonese track to his Japanese fans (with the translation to Japanese in the booklet). "Miss Temptation", "Tears of Jade" and "Maria My Love" are sadly a little bit boring...  With the 3 first mention songs this album could have been a masterpiece.

I give the album 8 out of 10.
