AMG Review of Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got

Andrew Hamilton
All Music Guide

A more recent collection of the Four Tops' ABC-Dunhill sides makes this brief ten-track CD obsolete. But I would recommend it for casual listeners. Most of their significant sides are here, with "One Chain Don't Make No Prison" the only glaring omission. Highlights are many: the "Love Music"/"Reach Out" medley; the heart-warming title track and the laid-back, bluesy "We All Gotta Stick Together," led by the late Lawrence Payton. Hit tracks "Keeper of the Castle" and "Are You Man Enough" both scored but are under appreciated. Both are produced to the teeth and may have been a bit to perfect for some. Sadly, other than "Ain't No Woman," the Tops don't get many requests for these songs in concert.
