Released late in 1972, this was Bassey's fourth album of the decade and was one of the albums which comprised her 'comeback' period of the 1970s. Unlike, the earlier albums, this didn't feature any hit singles and consequently didn't fare as well as the previous three. It made No.24, and remained on the chart for 9 weeks, reaching its peak on Christmas week, resulting in higher than average sales. Singles released were 'And I Love You So' (a cover of the Don McLean hit) and 'The Ballad of the Sad Young Men', although the CD liner notes consider tracks 'If We Only Have Love' and 'The Way of Love' to be stronger single choices. The album met with positive reviews and it was re-released on CD in 2000.
