Review: James has long been a masterful blues balladeer -- a talent spotlighted throughout the course of this 14-song collection. Some tracks are cushioned by string-enriched arrangements, others -- notably 1965's passionate "Only Time Will Tell" -- are melodic Chicago soul. Four tracks are previously unreleased, including her reading of Billie Holiday's "Lover Man." ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
