Although this was an erratic album, keyboardist and vocalist Billy Preston landed his lone number-one pop hit with "Will It Go Round In Circles." Preston tried everything from gospel and message tracks to rock and pop, but outside of "Circles," nothing else generated even a listen. Among Preston album cuts, "God Loves You" and "Ain't That Nothin'" are quite interesting. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
