But such soft rockers of the early '70s were more palatable to middle-of-the-road audiences than some of the ones from the '60s"[2] Billboard magazine wrote, "In what may be one of his finest and most commercial packages of all time, Williams has a chart winner in this delightful program.
Along with his new single, 'A Song for You', he turns in exceptional treatments of Carole King's 'You've Got a Friend', Kris Kristofferson's 'Help Me Make It Through the Night', and Nichols-Williams's 'Rainy Days and Mondays'.
