La seule particularité de cet album raté suivant les canons imposés par l’artiste depuis vingt ans, est son dernier morceau, le prémonitoire « Famous Last Words » puisqu’il n’a publié que deux autres chansons depuis 1993 et aucun album studio, excepté l’exercice de musique classique Fantasies & Delusions en 2001.
Quand on sait qu’il lui a fallu près de quatre ans pour accoucher d’un tel pensum, il est forcé de constater que soit son imagination s’est tarie soit que la rock music ne l’intéresse plus (il a d’ailleurs évoqué cette éventualité à mots couverts), préférant se consacrer à des apparitions lors de concerts caritatifs, étaler son humour lors de talk shows où il est fréquemment invité, ou s’occuper de sa compagnie de petits yachts à Shelter Island. Le thème de « The Great Wall of China » relate ses démêlés avec son ex-beau frère et manager qui était parti avec la caisse (on s’en moque un peu…), celui de « Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel) » porte sur l’amour paternel dévolu à sa fille Alexa Ray (Ray pour Ray Charles) qu’il a eue avec la sœur de son ex-beau frère… ce qui est fort mignon. Le quatuor de new jack Color Me Badd s'égosille sur « All About Soul ». « River of Dreams » inspiré Gospel et doo wop et vaguement accrocheur, a été un « tube » en France en novembre 1993.
Quant à la pochette, l’illustration en a été confiée à Madame Joel (Christie Brinkley) afin de nous faire découvrir son art naïf…, naïf en effet.
