when he arrived there. "'I needed someone to listen and suggest alternatives as far as my note selections were concerned…a producer who listens to you and says, "I like what you’re doing, but I hate that last note you made. Don't do that…do this." It just didn't work as well as it did at Columbia.'" The time at Mercury may have been frustrating, but it did begin a new path in terms of song selection. "'I'd listen to the stuff [recorded at Mercury] and wish I had a chance to do it again. But it was beneficial in many ways because I was eventually able to sing music that was the direction that I went to when I went back to Columbia…wonderful songs that were not necessarily big hits but ones that suited me intellectually as well as vocally.'" Reception Joe Viglione of Allmusic wrote that "these dozen tunes are grade A and sequenced very nicely." He also noted that the "vocal on "I Wish You Love" is extraordinary Mathis," and that he was especially fond of " a marvelous study of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny", a slow tempo rendition songwriter Hebb has stated he is most proud of".
