There’s really not one coat on the entire album I ever feel like listening to and that includes that awful stereo mix of the title tune. At least on the other albums, I can pick 12345 songs that I enjoy even if there are some horrible clinkers. On love child, there really aren’t any horrible clinkers, but there’s nothing I find compelling. Next to funny girl, and join the Temptations, it’s the Supremes album I play the least. My problem with it is, that I like commercial sounding songs with a hook and clever Production. I think the fact that the title song sold over 2 million copies and yet the album barely did any better than the reflections album. If word of mouth has been good on this album, it would easily have gone top 10.
