AMG Review of Men and Women

All Music GuideAfter a monster debut, Simply Red's follow-up album...featured an uneven batch of songs and lacked the kind of standout single Hucknall had enjoyed on the previous album with "Holding Back the Years." It wasn't a half-hearted effort by any means; Mick Hucknall's crackling vocals were just as exuberant, and the band's Stax/Volt-influenced lines were effectively played. They did turn in an interesting version of "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye."
