El Mirage (album)

In his review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann called the album Webb's "most polished effort yet as a performer". Ruhlmann noted the "lush tracks full of tasty playing and warm string charts". He described the re-recording of "P.F. Sloan" as "unnecessary", but found the compositions generally up to Webb's high standard as a songwriter, and the album as a whole a successful reintroduction of Webb as a pop artist. ==Track listing==
