Billboard (November 13, 1971): This husband and wife team has always provided one of the most exciting concert acts possible and it's about time they had a real album winner. This entry will do it. "I Love What You Do To Me" has the feel of "Proud Mary" with Ike's bass voice pouring heavy. Other standouts include "Sweet Flustrations," "Moving Into Hip Style-A Trip Child" and "What You Don't See."
