    All the star power in the world can't save sub-par material.

    The album takes on an airbrushed blandness that drowns out both the odd outbreak of compositional quality and the promise of adventure offered by the guests. [Dec 2001, p.104]

Though each solo recording only reveals the glimmer twin's need of one another, this is one of the few albums to which I can listen with a genuine sense of enjoyment. A thread of joy weaves itself through this collection of songs. Jaggers voice, though usually a vehicle for the blues, pulls off a celebratory sound that doesn't sound forced. Most solo albums by Jagger and Richards sound like medicore Stones' recordings with substitute musicians. However, here Jagger sounds like he has something to personally say that may or may not be shared by Keith.
