“While it’s true that the set opens with ‘Trouble With My Lover’ by the Crescent City’s Allen Toussaint, its vibe is pure Memphis: funky, dirty grooves, packed in a tight cut-time beat and Muldaur shouting the blues with a big, clear ringing voice that wrenches emotion from every syllable. Likewise, the title cut crawls down into the blues alley with killer slide guitar riffs winding their way around Muldaur’s seductive vocals. ‘Sweet Simple Love’ is pure soul power. Muldaur’s croon is affective, surrounded by a backing chorus that includes Tracy Nelson, stating her pure spiritually amorous intentions in front of a popping horn section and B-3 choogle. The gritty yet laid-back shimmy and funk of ‘Recovered Soul’ bears the marks of all of Muldaur’s strengths: steady yet emotive delivery, in-the-pocket rhythmic phrasing, and communicative in both range and articulation…. One of her strongest recordings; don’t miss it.”—All Music Guide
