1972 Gatefold Original With Embossed Promo Stamp On Corner Of Back Jacket. Appears Unplayed. “Bitter Sweet Introduced New Main Ingredient Member Cuba Gooding With A Bang. Gooding Added Power To Tony Silvester's And Luther Simmons' Mellow Vocal Blends. "Everybody Plays The Fool" Paid Immediate Dividends, Going All The Way To Number Three Pop. A Flute Plays A Catchy Intro, The Lyrics Are Accessible To All And Gooding's Dynamic Lead Keeps You Glued. A Stuttering Beat Makes "You've Got To Take It" Interesting; It's Reminiscent Of "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" By The Magictones. Heavier-Than-Usual Backing Voices Accent "No Tears," Which Finds Gooding As Excitable As Ever On A Tune Marred By Over-Orchestration. They Do The Pop Favorite "Who Can I Turn To?" In Traditional Style, Showcasing Gooding's Powerful Crooning. A Good Debut For Gooding, Who Surpassed Late Lead Singer Don Mcpherson Vocally But Lacked His Songwriting Skills.” – Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
