Even though he is now the official Global Ambassador for the Carlton Football Club, we couldn’t quite make this a 5/5 even though we wanted to! It’s a solid pop album with a couple of standout songs, but sounds very much of its time. As such we’re torn but are giving it 3.5/5, rounded down to 3.

This album is a weird attempt at a quasi-Broadway album, with vocals that sound oddly reminiscent of Neil Diamond.
Not surprisingly, David Ackles was a huge influence on Elvis Costello, who for some strange reason has six albums on the 1001 list. After Ackles’ death in 1999 Costello said, "It's a mystery to me why his wonderful songs are not better known." Similar to our ratings of most Costello albums, this one gets a 2.
