"Lovely soul album from Al Green. The timeless title track is absolutely beautiful and there's plenty of other strong songs on this great record. He made some fine albums in the seventies. This is one of them." Reply

"I’d recommend people getting into the band to start here. They finally deliver some very good songs such as Happy House, Hybrid, Christine which is the best track & Red Light and the whole album is worth a listen." Reply
