The Amazon review by Andrew Mueller perfectly expresses my take of this album. Part of Lennon's narcissism - shared with McCartney in earlier Linda days - is the assumption that we'll love what he loves. Indeed, how many people actually listen to this album or Double Fantasy with equal attention to both artists? Unfortunately, John Lennon's creative life after the Beatles was long on promise but very short on delivery. Not one of these songs has the grace, cleverness, craft or exuberance of 1963's It Won't Be Long, let alone Strawberry Fields. Many Beatle fans seem to be as indulgent with Lennon's later mediocrity as he was.
