Often mistaken with Night Owl, as they both had similar subject matter and beautiful Patrick Byrne covers, the main difference is that this is the one with "Baker Street," probably the most flogged song of the past two decades, and one that now does his credibility no good. Missing out in the memory bank is the powerful "The Ark," and the often ignored, radio-friendly title track. It also includes two of his finest open love songs: "Right Down The Line" and the innocently profound "Whatever's Written In Your Heart"), with the line "so we agree to disagree, at least we got our memories."
録音 : ステレオ (Studio)

一方で起伏の少ない冗長な楽曲もあるが、聴いているうちにいつの間にか心の中に居座ってしまう。タイプは異なるが、次作『Night Owl』収録の「Days Gone Down (Still Got the Light in Your Eyes)」なども、アル・ステュアートの「ラジオを聴いて」のような同じテンポを延々と繰り返される楽曲だが、グイグイと押されているようで、どういうわけかハマってしまう。
余計なことだが、スコットランド出身のジェリー・ラファティ―が描く、霧のロンドンのベーカー街の不気味な感じが”怪奇大作戦”の世界観っぽくていい。
