Review - :
Anchored by two of their most popular recordings, {&"You Keep Me Hanging On,"} and {&"Love Is Here and Now You're Gone,"} this LP features {$Holland, Dozier & Holland} (HDH) compositions and productions, and it ranks among their best. The {$Supremes'} renditions of songs popularized by label mates illustrate the interchangeability of HDH's songs. {$Ross's} soprano may not have the bite of {$Ron Isley's} tenor, but she still does a better than average job on {&"I Guess I Always Love."} Two {$Four Tops'} remakes, {&'I'll Turn to Stone,"} and {&"The Same Old Song,"} are just as groovy as the originals. An update of {$Martha & Vandellas'} {&"Love Is Like a Heat Wave"} fails to live up to the dynamics of the original. The {$Vandellas'} version was special, while this one comes off like another song for the session. {&"Mother You, Smother You"} is too formulaic, but the singing and lyrics places it well above what other girl groups were releasing at the time. Ditto for {&"Going Down for the Third Time."} A {$Supremes'} album track would be an A-side for most artists. The prolific writers did an excellent job on their namesake LP, which turned out to be the last of the great {$Supremes} albums. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
