Dubbelaar met veel orkestrale begeleidingen. Daardoor zal dit album van de westcoast-singer/songwriter wellicht ook liefhebbers van symfonische rock aanspreken. "This is Fogelberg's most ambitious, successful, and creative recording. A sprawling, conceptual song cycle, the double album traces the stages of life from the cradle to the grave. Beautifully orchestrated, imaginatively conceived, and obviously well thought out, it works as an artistic statement and also includes some of Fogelberg's most universally appealing and commercially successful music. "Leader of the Band" (about his father) and "Same Old Lang Syne" (about an old girlfriend) have a timeless quality. As bold as the album was, Fogelberg acknowledged the importance of his influences and those who inspired him to attempt to reach such lofty musical heights by thanking a long list of music notables in the liner notes. A truly outstanding effort and a major work; a recording of a caliber that few artists could achieve." (S.J. Matteo, Allmusic)
Dit derde album van de Amerikaanse singer/songwriter laat zijn gevoelige, maar nooit sentimentele songs in rijke en warme arrangementen, met veel strijkers. Dit is jarenzeventig-softrock ten voeten uit.
Samenwerking tussen singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Fogelberg en fluitist Weisberg, geholpen door creme-de-la-creme studiocats als Vinnie Colaiuta en Michael Landau. Een mix van fusion-getinte instrumentals en westcoast-pop.
