AllMusic | [3] |
Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic said that "Against the odds as determined by bopsters, Desmond finds something beautiful, wistful, and/or sly to say in each of these ten tunes, backed by Herbie Hancock's Rhodes electric piano and a set of ravishing, occasionally overstated (as in " America") orchestrations by Don Sebesky". [3]
All songs written by Paul Simon, except " Scarborough Fair/Canticle", a traditional ballad, arranged by Simon and Art Garfunkel.
