 The album has its admirers , however . Writing in a Rolling Stone Press tribute book , Greg Kot labels Extra Texture as " something of a return to form for Harrison " . AllMusic 's Richard Ginell views " You " , " The Answer 's at the End " and " This Guitar ( Can 't Keep from Crying ) " as some of Harrison 's best post @-@ Beatles compositions and identifies other " musical blossoms " on a collection that stands up relatively well to the passing of time . Writing in the 2004 Rolling Stone Album Guide , Mac Randall considered it to be an album that " starts off well , then runs out of steam midway through " , while John Harris , in his 2011 review for Mojo , described it as " a classic case of contractual obligation " but still a " decided improvement " on Dark Horse . More impressed , Harrison biographer Elliot Huntley admires the album as " a welcome return to form " that offers " some gorgeous love songs , a truly commercial lead single , and flashes of the humour that define George Harrison as a songwriter " .
