I can find nothing to suggest that "Love Breeze" expands the Robinson legend.

To be blunter still, I'm damned if I can find more than one track that lodges in my memory.

The exception is "Shoe Soul," a trickily constructed midtempo pop song carrying a lyric rich in mischievous metaphor and a lilting hook ideally suited to a falsetto voice. If the album is to yield a bona fide hit single, then I reckon that will be it….

"Love So Fine" is perhaps the most interesting production of the eight. In a way, it's Smokey's "Sir Duke," pop/jazz that calls upon some blowsy horns, what seems to be an upright bass and a sprightly piano as assistance to a swinging vocal.

"Love Breeze" is neither a triumph nor a defeat, and Smokey's most loyal fans will no doubt accept it gratefully, but it's no more than that...
