"Once upon a time, Rod Stewart was not vamping indiscriminately about 'Hot Legs' and asking 'D'ya Think I'm Sexy?' He was a singer with a gravel-voice approximation of Sam Cooke and excellent taste in cover material. Here, he's toned down with folksy covers of Tim Hardin ('Reason to Believe'), Bob Dylan ('Tomorrow is Such a Long Time'), and Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup (via Elvis, 'That's All Right Mama'). He tops his interpretive abilities with two originals that have since become standards ('Maggie May,' 'Every Picture Tells A Story'). Quite a different Rod from the one the world has come to know." — Amazon.com
