"Michael McDonald's 2003 album of Motown covers was his biggest hit in well over a decade, so it only made sense that he returned with a sequel. The album follows the same blueprint as the first record, offering highly polished, professionally produced, expertly performed interpretations of gems from the Motown vaults; it's the sound of young America in the '60s reinterpreted for the adults of the new millennium. There are a few celebrity cameos (Billy Preston, Stevie Wonder, Toni Braxton), a sign that this project has a higher profile than the first Motown record. Last time, he was in typically fine voice, but here he really digs into the songs. But what really distinguishes this album, is that there's a slightly adventurous streak in the choice of songs. There are big hits here, to be sure, but McDonald has also dug out some lesser-known tunes like "Tuesday Heartbreak," "After the Dance," and "Baby I'm for Real". It's the rare sequel that improves on the original." (S.T. Erlewine, Allmusic)
