"Lionel had a dream ... he "had an A-W-E-S-O-M-E Dream". The title cut is so saccharine that dentists paid Richie royalties for all the dentures it caused. This is where Richie lost all credibility as anything more than a schlockmeister."  Reply

"This is an album that I actually found more impressive the first time I heard it than on subsequent listens, but it's still really enjoyable. Got a few brilliant standout tracks, but also a fair amount of filler."  Reply

"There's not a bad song here; in fact there's not even a mediocre song here. But of course I'm biased since this is my favorite band. Anyhow, this isn't *quite* as good as their first album or their third album (Bloodletting), but still right up there. Criminally overlooked and ahead of their time."  Reply

"The final and best Capitol hodgepodge album. It contains some great tracks, but suffers from inferior sound quality. Fun fact: if you turn the album on its side, Paul is in a coffin."  Reply

"Not as daring as their earlier albums, but still solid. Very Beatlesque like ELO, just listen to "Feel The Benefit" and "The Things We Do For Love" for proof."  Reply
