External Reviews
"Honestly, there’s little that needs saying about this that you haven’t already assumed. It’s already in your head. It’s Rod Stewart. Doing soul covers. Most of which (okay, all of which) you’ll be familiar with. In Rod’s “exceptional style” (says the sticker adorning the cover). If you like Rod and you like soul, you’re going to like this; if you dig one but not the other, you might dig some of it . . . The versions largely stay close to the originals, the arrangements for My Cherie Amour, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted and You’ve Really Got a Hold On Me as uplifting as ever. A handful of collaborations lend extra vocal gravitas when Rod might otherwise struggle - Mary J. Blige delivers a fine turn on You Make Me Feel Brand New, a 1974 hit for The Stylistics, and Smokey Robinson drops in on Tracks of My Tears, a number he first recorded in 1965 when a member of The Miracles." - Mike Diver.
"Rock, ballads, blues, soul, whatever! He has achieved success second to none." - AllMusic.
