    I was expecting something different from the Cat Stevens of old thank goodness it sounds just like it. A little older and wiser. Same production values with catchy tunes and a message. Cat Stevens fans won't be disappointed by Yusef's latest release.

    Not unpleasant, but not likely to persuade the previously unpersuaded. [Nov 2017, p.39]

    Yusuf’s vocals are a bit more gruff than in days gone by, but his whimsical tone maintains the fanciful and philosophical lilt once so essential to that early, engaging style.

    New material like See What Love Did To Me sits well alongside these [four songs from 1967's New Masters album]. [Oct 2017, p.91]
