The results can be heard on what is undoubtedly his most mature and heartfelt effort. He embraces environmental issues here, and tells his side of the unhappy marriage. He still isn't a cerebral sort, so the subject matter clashes somewhat with his typically simple expressions, but the effort helped him reconnect with his fans, who made this album something of a sleeper hit: although it was his lowest charting effort ever, it stayed in the charts longer than any album he'd made since the heyday of Loggins And Messina, and went gold. ~ William Ruhlmann

Editorial Reviews
..a suite of impassioned confessional songs...Mr. Loggins's complex folk-rock melodies are bolstered by virtuosic arrangements that incorporate world-music and new-age instrumentation..
