I urge you to consider the highs of his misses as well as the sonic nirvana of his hits

The songs tended to work better individually than collectively. ... it deserves some attention as it can be considered the pivotal album in the career of an American musical icon

Record Collector Magazine
It bubbles with creativity and excitement and is the first in a series of classics that would precede Innervisions, etc.

Wilson & Alroy's Music Reviews
There are powerful songs (the stately almost classical "Look Around," the hit ballad "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer") next to some of the weakest compositions he's ever released ("Think Of Me As Your Soldier").

John McFerrin Music Reviews
Stevie's songwriting instincts were strong enough at this point that, even when used in the worst possible circumstance, the floor for one of his albums was above the level of disaster.

the hits outnumber the misses and even the misses are generally more interesting than the lesser Motown-by-numbers mediocrities of his earlier assembly line albums
