Excellent album steeped in the Southern California country-rock sound of the 70s, with all the usual suspects (Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Kenny Edwards, and Russ Kunkel, and producer Peter Asher -- all Ronstadt veterans -- plus Glenn Frey and Don Henley from The Eagles) in place on such songs as "Faithless Love," "Simple Man, Simple Dream," and "Silver Blue." ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
