Coming Around Again is the 13th studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Arista Records, on April 13, 1987.

The first of many albums Simon recorded for Arista; the title track was written for and featured in the 1986 film Heartburn, along with "Itsy Bitsy Spider".

[4] Rolling Stone gave a positive review of the album, writing: "The title cut on Coming Around Again gives Simon the chance to step away and deliver a cozy, soothing, even hopeful song.

Many of the tracks progress with the same slow, tuneful strides and reflect Carly's new lyrical stance — that of an older sister or mother.

Maybe all those years of avoiding the road have paid off for her; while the other acoustic heroines of the 1970s — Carole King, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell — have frayed at the edges, Carly's voice still sounds like it's in one piece.

That's why it's not such a silly idea for her to cover a song like "As Time Goes By," which, if she doesn't redefine, she at least renews with some zephyrous overtones," concluding "Coming Around Again is a strong reminder of how refreshing a diversion Carly Simon can be".

[6] Stephen Holden, writing for The New York Times, stated: "Coming Around Again, the latest and one of the strongest chapters in a growing catalogue, embodies everything that the 41-year-old singer-songwriter does best.
