The title song (a cover of
Herb Alpert's "This Guy's in Love with You") might lead you to believe this is one of
Aretha Franklin's more pop-oriented albums; but in fact, "This Girl's in Love with You" is the only song of the sort on this solid and fairly earthy effort. Besides the hit singles "Call Me" and "Share Your Love with Me," it also includes her most well-known
Beatles covers ("Eleanor Rigby" and "Let It Be"), and her interesting version of "The Weight," a Top 20 single featuring slide guitar by
Duane Allman. ~ Richie Unterberger
