An album with a quiet, lingering aftertaste that will appeal to adult listeners.
Rita Coolidge, who established her own unique position throughout the 1970s, spanning soul, pop, and country, made this album a turning point as she moved towards a new era of pop sound.
In addition to the mellow, organic sound of her previous albums, this one introduces more sophisticated AOR/urban-oriented arrangements. Smooth strings, electric piano, and a light rhythm section envelop her poised alto voice. The title track, "Fool That I Am," showcases her mature expressiveness as she meticulously sings of the pain of heartbreak and self-reflection.
