Should have been a hit.
both #1 records for Ian. The critics hated this, but they also hated "At 17" and "Between the Lines". She has always used the best musicians available; Steve Gadd & Willie Weeks fill in admirably the spaces left by Richard Davis et al in her earlier work. I know this came on the heels of "Breaking Silence", so everyone expected a moody noir piece - but its refreshing to hear Ian's most commercial material, with choruses you can sing along to, lyrics with insight, the works! Of all her albums, this has to be my favorite, because I can play it tooling around in my car, right next to Back Street Boys and Puff Daddy. If she were male, if she were 19 or 20 years old, this album would have been platinum.


The Critics hated it but I LOVED it
Most of the tunes on this album are catchy and remind me of why I liked Janis Ian to begin with. This album was panned by the critics but if you are a fan of the "At Seventeen" era Janis Ian, this album is great. My favorites cuts are "When Angels Cry," "Tenderness" and "Take Me Walking In The Rain. " The songs are a little sappy (and yes a little depressing) but isn't that why so many of us liked her in the first place?.
