Ashford & Simpson had come close to exhausting their creative quotient by the mid-'80s. Simpson
still sang effectively, and Ashford harmonized and contrasted her
nicely, but they'd stated and restated both their own situations and any
variations on it four albums before. As a result, the feeling that
you've heard it all once too often permeates this album. Not that their
fans wouldn't want to listen once more, nor that what they had to say
wasn't at times compelling; it's just that it no longer was special.
