James Taylor's musical reliance upon nuance and subtle feeling would make it seem that he is a bad fit for generally impersonal large venues, but his ability to project those qualities to sizable audiences has always served his material well.
Taylor remains capable, at 57, of enveloping lyrics with vocal tenderness, a quality he emanated freely whether he was putting a refined spin on "Handy Man" atop the sturdy harmonies of his vocal backups, or strolling through the delicately powerful environs of "Fire and Rain" as a closer to the first of his two sets.
Taylor sat again with his acoustic, explaining why he was about to take a break and holding up the small chalkboard on which the set list was written as if to prepare himself for what was in store.

 James Taylor: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
James Taylor’s debut album on the Beatles’ Apple label flopped, despite featuring one of Taylor’s best songs ‘Carolina In My Mind’, as well as ‘Something In The Way She Moves’ which inspired a certain ubiquitous George Harrison number.
While Taylor slowly lapsed into safe pop, Sweet Baby James is an effective work and a time capsule of a certain period, even if Taylor lapses into sentimentality too often to allow the album to appeal to music snobs.
Taylor is joined by Carole King on piano, future Eagles bassist Randy Meisner, and session musicians Danny Kootch and Ross Kunkel, who steer the record in a country direction, underscored by the opening line “there is a young cowboy/he lives on the range.”

James Taylor, be he Christian, Buddhist, pagan, or a worship-our-mother-earth-gaze-some-more-at-your-navel-and-pray-to-the-trees new ager, is still writing wonderful stories of faith, hope, and love.
Yet Taylor's success in these parts is not merely one of "homeboy makes good." Once again, he has surrounded himself with top-notch instrumentalists and singers that can bring everything from his bluesy rockers to his tender ballads to life with accuracy and affectation.
With fifteen albums to his credit, not counting greatest hits and live albums, he has hundreds of songs to perform.

 James Taylor: Greatest Hits Volume 2 - PopMatters Music Review
There are still plenty of instantly recognizable hit songs, from "Handy Man", and, "Your Smiling Face", to "Her Town Too", but there are also forgettable versions of hits by others.
Taylor's quietly expressive voice smoothes out the creases in such chestnuts as "Up On the Roof", and "Everyday", without adding much more than a Muzak-ed reinterpretation.
Taylor's latent blues tendencies, which blazed forth on volume one's "Steamroller", are less apparent but still in evidence on songs like the horn-fueled jump blues, "(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That", which comes from 1991's underrated New Moon Shine.
