AMG Review of Daryl Hall & John Oates
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideSwitching to RCA, Hall & Oates recorded a self-titled album that fulfilled their early promise as pop-savvy lue-eyed soul craftsmen. A few of the tracks fall flat -- including the eggae-tinged "Soldering" and the pompous "Ennui on the Mountain" -- but much of the album is lush and catchy, featuring allads and midtempo numbers that are nearly as engaging as the duo's breakthrough single, "Sara Smile."
