Review :
{$Cat Stevens} bounced back from the lackluster {^Numbers} with an album of pop/rock songs that brought his usual rhythmic folk-rock into contemporary style with the {@Muscle Shoals} rhythm section, a snappy {$Dave Kershenbaum} production, and lots of synthesizers. Most of the songs were unusually lightweight, but the autobiographical {&"(I Never Wanted) To Be a Star"} explored {$Stevens}' ambivalence about being in the music business, an attitude that would find him dropping out and finding religion after one more album. In the meantime, {^Izitso} produced a final Top 40 hit in {&"(Remember the Days of The) Old Schoolyard"} and a singles-chart entry in the instrumental {&"Was Dog a Doughnut."} As a result, {$Stevens} returned to the Top Ten LPs list with a ninth straight gold album, his last. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
