  1. 8.0 |   BBC

    With the last few years seeing a revival in ‘authentic soul’ via the likes of Amy Winehouse, Plan B and even Michael Kiwanuka, it should be no problem for Fields to find a new audience with this collection. The man is worth some love

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    A slightly less successful record than My World, primarily for its lack of diversity and a throwaway instrumental track ... but it’s still a success for one of the 21st century’s most relevant ‘60s survivors
