Not to mention "Free Man In Paris" this was Joni's first real effort at serious orchestral arrangements and a full-band, jazz-oriented sound, and her best. "Help Me" was her biggest hit ever. It may be her one song most remembered by the general public. But the whole album extraordinarily well-written, especially the wrenching love-song "Car On A Hill," the complexly arranged suite "Down To You," and the picaresque "Just Like This Train." Plus the record ends on a great gag: an up-tempo cover of the humorous jazz tune "Twisted," with a few snippets of dialogue courtesy of Cheech & Chong, and Joni's voice zooming madly around the rapid-fire melody.
