This album was rushed out to capitalize on the success of the title song, which was
Wonder's biggest pop hit since "Fingertips, Pt. 2," and would not be bettered until "Superstition" in 1972. Other than the hit, it's all filler, but not uninteresting for that. There are several contributions from the
Wonder team at Motown, covers of other Motown hits, and stabs at sounding like
Ray Charles,
James Brown, and
Otis Redding. At 17,
Wonder was becoming both a remarkable mimic, and an original talent on his own. ~ William Ruhlmann
