The album offers plenty of the kind of soul funk we have come to expect of the Commodores, performed with stunning precision, but there are also some interesting variations." Robert Christgau of ''The Village Voice'' gave a B, describing ''Heroes'' as "an improvement. For one thing, most of the brotherhood anthems--which avoid the gend ...
