All Music Guide Review

Two years after the Rascals broke up, leader Felix Cavaliere launched his solo career with this self-titled debut. The good news was that it was a major effort: Cavaliere co-wrote all the songs, and the record was co-produced by Todd Rundgren. Cavaliere had an eclectic ability to mix rock with Latin and soul elements and to sing his songs in a compellingly soulful voice that could be stirring or smooth. The bad news was that the Rascals had been in commercial decline since their popular heyday of 1966-1968, which meant that Cavaliere had the appearance of a has-been. He was unable to overcome this disadvantage, and Felix Cavaliere failed to establish him as a solo star. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
