This represents their last gasp as a commercially viable recording act, with minor singles and the usual filler. Like their stable mates
the Supremes and
the Four Tops, they suffered commercially as well as artistically from the abrupt departure of the
Holland-Dozier-
Holland production team. Aside from "Honey Chile," their last major pop hit (staff songwriter
Sylvia Moy conceived the song with
Reeves in mind), there's not much to recommend that rises above conventional adequacy, though "(We've Got) Honey Love" is a decent confection and "Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone" was a modest Top 40 hit. ~ John Lowe
