an aptly named album loaded with hits from top to bottom

This album is a classic because for the songs you can hear here they are very special.

Wow, where did this come from? Before listening to it, I was somehow pretty sure I wouldn't be able to connect with this. Totally unexpected, it blew me away. This is what pop heaven sounds like, so many catchy tunes. This kind of albums are usually based on two or three hits and the rest is the so called "filler". Here every song is a hit.

I only really have one complaint about this album, I think the vocals are mixed very strangely. They feel claustrophobic, like she’s in a very small closet. Other than that, I like every aspect of this album; the instrumentation, the writing, the performances. All these aspects work with each other in a fantastic way.

I also just wanted to let Brad1770 know that when you look up easy listening smooth FM friendly rock music, this is not the first album cover to come up. As of now, it's actually Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Which I feel is a bit inaccurate.

A classic. I didn't purchase this album for many years, because I had her greatest hits album. This is way better. She has a down to earth voice and is a very good piano player.

Introspective and charming album. When you hear It tou can tell It comes from a great songwriter.

Truly remarkable in every sense of the word. Near perfection.

I've had this album for many years, and never get tired of listening to it. Whether as a vocalist, a musician, or a songwriter, Carole sparkles. A true masterpiece, this album would work well in anyone's collection.
