Bob Welch's last record with Fleetwood Mac has a rather mellow and subtle beauty. Christine McVie shines alongside the horn section for the title track and the even sweeter "Come A Little Bit Closer". Bob's instrumental "Coming Home" is a rather nice track in the vein of "Hypnotized". It is hard not to smile about his "Silver Heels" where Welch expresses his wish to sing like Paul McCartney or get funky like Etta James. It's a nice album overall, but just seems a bit too subdued for its own good. There aren't quite enough truly memorable songs here and they seem to be a pale shadow of the band they would become once Lindsey and Stevie joined the ranks for their next record.
