In an interview for The Line of Best Fit, Morrison told Max Gayler he loved doing cover versions, noting that while "Busking, playing pubs, you always had to play a cover. I think it's a good gauge of what an artist really is when they sing another version of someone else's song".[2]
Writing for Rolling Stone Germany, Marc Vetter wrote Morrison "focuses on his strengths. These lie, as always, in (polished) blues and soul. Of course, some power ballads flirt with dangerous kitsch territory, but when this is done with a heartfelt nod to Stevie Wonder, as in "Little Wings", it's perfectly fine".[3]AllMusic's biography of Morrison, written by Mark Deming, states that it is a "deeply personal album that found him coming through a difficult period, including the death of his former partner, being a father and working through his own emotional struggles"[4]
