Paul Simon maintained his creative streak with the Grammy winning album Still Crazy After All These Years. It features the reunion song with Art Garfunkel My Little Town which was a US No. 9 hit. (US:1 UK:6)

“There are some great songs and classics on here. There is the reunion song between him and Garfunkel, which is a pretty good. If in the right mood this album can really hit the spot. It's really mellow and relaxing.”

“This album provocatively showcases Simon's unique talents and creative interests with an eclectic, wide-ranging, and gorgeously produced solo effort. From the haunting rhythms and wry lyrics of Still Crazy After All These Years to the tender and sensitive emotions expressed so well in My Little Town sung with Art Garfunkel, we sense more than a little autobiographical influence in all the songs. Simon's lyrical genius is displayed in spades here. We can tell that this is an artist in full bloom, enjoying his singular ability to deliver a wide range of songs with a panorama of emotions, and telling personal observations so artfully expressed.”

“Nearly every song has something great about it, but none of the songs are great in and of themselves. This record is more about vibe than songwriting, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“This album's best bits are some of Paul Simon's finest moments. The title track with great electric piano and sax solo is just lovely. Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover is one of his better uptempo tracks, with some great drumming as well. I Do It For Your Love is as great as a Paul Simon ballad can get. And then there's the song on which he's reunited with Art Garfunkel, a lovely pop song that just calls for the duo's harmonies.”

“This is a great album by one of America's best songwriters. Simon simply has a knack for the craft, and weaves beautiful feelings and stories together here for an excellent album. The best track for me is the poignant Silent Eyes. It's a very beautiful, moving song that makes a strong political point, but still shows more compassion than preaching. That's the mark of a great songwriter, and Paul Simon is one of our greatest.”
