Wilson Pickett demonstrates another side to his talent with I’m In Love an album of mainly ballads and romantic numbers. Contains the US No. 15 hit single She’s Lookin Good. (US:70)
“I'm In Love is a superb and satisfying collection, and one of Wilson Pickett's most mature Atlantic albums. It steps away from the high-energy hits of the mid-60s into deeper emotional waters. This album is really emotionally and musically powerful from start to finish.”
“Beautiful album with both soulful ballads and dynamic, danceable yet rockin' numbers. This album emanates class.”
“This is a fun one, great party vibe. Come on people, the greatest hits isn't enough for the Wicked Pickett. Check it out - this is great party stuff - he even has fun with Sam Cooke's Bring It On Home. This is a wonderful record.”
“I'm In Love is a special album because it swoops from upbeat, gospel country church soul stompin' to heartbreaking blues wailing, and from exhilarated to depressed moods.”
“The Wicked Pickett sounds a lot more convincing on this album's romantic numbers than anyone would have had a right to expect from one of the baddest cats of Southern soul. Of course, there aren't all that many romantic ballads here, but Pickett's rough-and-ready soul shouting manages to sound just as convincing on Bring It On Home To Me and That Kind Of Love as he does on the pained Jealous Love.”
“Like most R & B albums of the period, I'm In Love sounds more like a set of tunes than a unified album, but it's a good set of tunes, performed with Pickett's usual high level of passion and skill, and if you're any kind of fan you'll revel in it.”
