"Something's Burning" is a song by American rock band Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, released in January 1970 as a single from their album of the same name.
This Is Tom Jones was also broadcast in the US and eventually it gave enough exposure to the song to make it a hit.
[1] Reviewed in Billboard, it was written that the song "could easily repeat that success [of "Reuben James"] with this driving rocker, with an exceptional vocal workout by Rogers".
[2] Cash Box wrote that the "grand vocal work and an instrumental that builds behind the scene give this new track a bright prospect for teen and adult programming".
[3] However, reviewing for Record Mirror, James Hamilton wrote that "this soft-then-building, soft-again-then-building slowie certainly won't get the crowd dancing (nor the critics disapproving) ... it's not that it's bad, just ordinary".
