Some passable disco but others simply don't work

Reviewer: John Fitzgerald, Human resources staff database assiatant October 31, 2001

This is a brisk, breezy disco effort with varying results but oddly, it's most predictable
moments are the most enjoyable ones. As one would expect, the longer numbers are the
better ones as disco requires a constant beat and an appealing groove to continue
throughout to work effectively and the title track and "Cherry boy" serve their purpose
with pleasing saxophone breaks and gallant horn arrangements while the string
arrangements are of even more superior music to the ears. "Free (medley) I
am.../Free.../Keep on walkin'" is worthwhile as well as it reminds one of the better
qualities of the "Stars on 45" series from the early 80's which consisted of disco Beatles
medleys and the like but the other songs here are of little use lacking in hooks and strong
instrumentation. "Menage a trois" attempts to capture the eroticism displayed on Donna
Summer's "Love to love you baby" but doesn't really come off not without effort marks
though and one can see why Crewe has a loyal cult following but it's a fair mish mash
overall.
