MOG Editorial Review

Despite rightfully earning her title as "The Queen of Memphis Soul" throughout the '60s, Stax icon Carla Thomas created her best album when she moved beyond the region for inspiration. Coming off as a hybrid of northern and southern soul, Thomas managed to have the best of both worlds, embodying some of the polished qualities of one and the funky, spirited side of the other. "Any Day Now," for instance, embodied the sweetness of Motown, while "Something Good (Is Going to Happen to You)" found her reverting to something more danceable, all without sounding trendy.
AMG Review of Queen Alone

Alex Henderson
All Music Guide

Carla Thomas was more than deserving of her title "The Queen of Memphis Soul," but she was hardly oblivious to the sleeker, more pop-influenced sweet soul and uptown soul coming out of Detroit, Philadelphia and Chicago. One of her strongest albums, The Queen Alone isn't the work of someone who took a Memphis-only approach, but of someone who was well aware of what Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick, Martha Reeves and others were up to. What's surprising is the fact that this album (reissued on CD in 1992) contains only two hits: the playful "Something Good (Is Going to Happen to You)," which made it to number 29 on ~Billboard's soul singles chart, and the idealistic, gospel-influenced ballad and number 11 R&B single "I'll Always Have Faith in You." Songs ranging from the sweet and vulnerable "I Want to Be Your Baby" to the remorseful "All I See Is You" and the pessimistic "Any Day Now" (a song co-written by Burt Bacharach) weren't singles, but it wasn't for a lack of heartfelt singing. Drawing on both Southern and Northern soul, Queen Alone is a pleasant reminder that they were equally attractive options.
