An easy album to overlook, but not without some nice moments! Johnny Bristol produced the record, and he gives it a nice sweet 70s soul groove, similar to what he was using in his own work from the time.

A great little concept album – and one that really shows the continuing sophistication and growth of Jerry Butler's music in the 70s!
