The lurching, thudding "Let Me Roll It" is one of his best rockers; "Jet" speeds along with soaring harmonies and tons of hooks; the title track, with a memorable slide guitar part, is both like an intricate mini-pop-symphony and a good-natured, live-in-the-studio sing-along joke tune.
Denny Laine made a final appearance on the LP, and Paul's new collaborator Eric Stewart made his debut.
