Alone Together is the debut solo album by former Traffic member Dave Mason, released in 1970.
[verification needed] Billboard magazine reviewed the album favourably in 1970: "Mason with help from friends Jim Capaldi and Leon Russell proves his mastery of the rock idiom once and for all.
Jon Carroll was less enthusiastic in Rolling Stone, finding it technically accomplished but "more potential than realization", featuring often trivial lyrics and never soaring from its "vinyl bonds".
[4] In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau found the music "both complex and likable-to-catchy, with a unique light feel that begins with the way Mason doubles on acoustic and electric", but believed Mason lacked the "poetic gift" to put across his evasive lyrics.
[5] Jim Newsom from AllMusic was more impressed in a retrospective review, regarding the album as Mason's best work, featuring "an excellent batch of melodically pleasing songs, built on a fat bed of strumming acoustic guitars with tasteful electric guitar accents and leads."
