Left of Center is the second studio album by American singer Javier Colon. It was released by Columbia Records on March 7, 2006 in the United States.
Cleveland Scene editor Dan LeRoy found that "with a range as wide as his smile, [Javier] hits the slow jams like a young, hungry 'Face, but handles the acoustic numbers more like Sweet Baby James, pausing in between for a few slices of atmospheric club candy and "The Answer Is Yes," a gospel tribute that wisely doesn't oversell itself and thus succeeds spectacularly. Nothing stretches Javier as far as "October Sky," the straight-no-chaser jazz closer from his debut, but Left of Center hits every target it aims for dead-on." [1]
