Steve Miller's career has encompassed two distinct stages: one of the top San Francisco blues-rockers  during the late '60s and early '70s, and one of the top-selling pop/rock acts of the mid- to late '70s  and early '80s with hits like "The Joker," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Rock'n Me," and "Abracadabra.

It's his seventh album and last as a cult artist before the commercial breakthrough of 1973's The Joker. 

The album, dedicated to Mahalia Jackson and Junior Parker, is split into two distinct sections. Side one dips 

into '50s doo wop with "Enter Maurice," acoustic folk-blues ("High on You Mama"), upbeat down-home pop 

("The Sun Is Going Down"), and good-time R&B blues-rocking with horns ("Somebody Somewhere Help Me")

 that pre-dates Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes' similar style by about five years. 

But side two is where Miller really hits his stride, with beautiful, somewhat psychedelic folk-rockers that add 

his blues and rock roots to the string-enhanced acoustic ballad "Nothing Lasts," the haunting "Love's Riddle," 

and the shimmering closing title track, certainly one of his most endearing compositions (and the only 

selection to make the cut from this collection for his first career recap released later that year, 1972's Anthology). 

Nick De Caro's string arrangements are beautifully and expertly integrated into these songs and previous 

Steve Miller Band member Ben Sidran's production is sympathetic and spacious, 

as is veteran Bruce Botnick's (the Doors) engineering...(AllMusic)
