 The album has continued to receive positive attention in the years since its release . Allmusic stated : " Recorded in the same year as the Brothers and Sisters album , this solo debut release is a beautiful amalgam of R & B , folk , and gospel sounds , with the best singing on any of Gregg Allman 's solo releases . " In 2006 , Tom Moon of NPR reviewed the album as a part of his " Shadow Classics " series , calling it " amazing stuff , deep and intense yet nowhere near the decibel levels of his work with the [ Allman Brothers ] band . ... But he 's equally compelling — maybe even more so — in a quieter space , when he 's less fired up . "
