AllMusic Staff Pick - March 19, 2024
March 19, 1974
This album, released 50 years ago today, marked a return to the simpler style of Cat Stevens' earlier albums. No song ran much over five minutes, the arrangements were sparer and featured more acoustic guitar, and the lyrics did not take off into discursive ruminations about the state of the universe. It was very much as if Stevens was deliberately trying to make an album like Teaser and the Firecat, his commercial and artistic apex.
- William Ruhlmann
