This is a nice album by them but it is not their best. However, I love this album for the one song, Lady Godiva! It is in the style of the Beatles (not surprising considering their collaborations) or Harry Nilsonn (in particular, Daddy's Song he wrote for Davy Jones of the Monkees (link below); bouncy and happy with great instrumentation.
