AMG Review of Now
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideBy the time Petula Clark released Now in 1972, she was past her prime, but she wasn't content to sit still. So, Clark attempted a full-fledged comeback with Now, working with a new set of arrangers and picking a strong set of songs. If the musical results were strictly pleasant soft-rock and MOR pop, at least it was well-crafted and well-sung, and it was a stronger collection than its immediate predecessors. And, with two songs -- "My Guy" and "Wedding Song (There Is Love)" -- becoming minor hit singles, it proved that Clark's voice was still engaging and that she could still make enjoyable mainstream pop.
