Rod could have stepped out more energetically on this album, but his gentlemanly approach still has its merits. Plus, it’s great to hear these songs again.
-
There's no doubting the love in that old heart of his, but Soulbook could've cut much deeper.
-
His new versions are respectful and careful, with his voice recorded in close-up. Compared to the originals, they are just about joyless.
-
It's all pleasing enough, flowing better than the American Songbook albums, and not feeling as karaoke as the Rock album, but it's so comfortable, so easygoing, it verges on the forgettable.
-
Alas, instead of a small, tight band and a focused, driven Rod the Mod, the project creaks with over-syrupy productions and seemingly phoned-in vocals.
