Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

The album received positive reviews from Fusion, Rolling Stone, and Robert Christgau.[8] Christgau felt the album was "superb",[8] the same wording as used by Greil Marcus in his Rolling Stone review.[9]

In a retrospective summary for Rolling Stone, a staff writer felt that Stewart's solo debut showed him as a "highly original interpreter" of other people's songs, and that his own compositions indicated he was "capable of startlingly bare emotion and compassion".[10]
