Review (AllMusic) : Boz Scaggs ended his retirement in 1988 and returned from running a restaurant to cut this session. It had his patented folk/soul mix and a few decent songs, but wasn't anywhere as ambitious or polished as any of his previous four platinum albums. Perhaps there really is truth to the old saying about going home again. His voice still had its introspective, bemused tone, but the production, arrangements, and compositions lacked conviction, power, or commercial appeal. He did get one hit with the single "Heart Of Mine," but Toto's backing was more hindrance than help.
