« One of the superb adult-MOR chanteuses who has developed a fanatic core of admirers in this country but never yet found a vehicle to break out into the Top 40 mainstream, Bassey comes in with another stunning, showy example of the art of easy listening at its best. Her big but flexible voice drains the interior meanings out of a well-chosen set of songs that have already mostly been hits for soft-rockers. A tour now with the likes of Mathis or Mancini might well be the soundest vechicle for extending her audience now, or perhaps a summer tv series would do the trick. Best cuts: The Hungry Years, Isn't It A Shame, If I Never Sing Another Song. »
