Richie writes...with dizzying joy ... Never slicks over the gaps with showbiz insincerity. It’s an appealing testimony from someone who has fulfilled his dreams and — in the nicest way — knows what that’s worth.
Highly enjoyable ... Richie emerges as a likable fellow ... He retains an almost mystical regard for the magical process of conjuring memorable tunes from the ether and doesn’t shy away from discussing racism, money or personal struggles through divorce and depression. A cut above the usual music memoir and another sure-fire hit.
