All Music GuideJames Taylor followed his double-platinum Columbia Records label debut, JT, with this hodgepodge of a record. There are covers of the Beatles' "Day Tripper" and the Drifters' "Up on the Roof," a remake of Taylor's own "Rainy Day Man," songs written for the Broadway musical Working, and a few new Taylor compositions. The usual brain trust (producer Peter Asher), and the usual backup team (Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, Dan Grolnick, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel) were on board.
