I'm a huge Steely Dan fan, love the original by Donald, but this isnt a bad cover... some props where props is due, Howard did a decent job here. Hey, I'v eheard far worse covers, AND this is a tough song to cover, the chord chages are very complex. Good Job Howard, although its not as good as Donald's version, its still an enjoyable song.
I love Howard but of all the songs to cover... I just find it a tad too smooth. The original is amazing in its scope and sound quality. This cover seemed to herald Howard's adult contemporary work to come, maybe that's why I am not crazy for it. A complete synth version would have been more original. 4/10. (Sorry Howard!)
Not even close

It would be soooo great if I'd never heard the original.... but not bad Howie. Let's hear Donald cover one of your hits!

Nice cover, but I think the original will always remain the best.

Amended.
Standing on Donald Fagen' s shoulders. Maybe better than the original recording.

Why such a downgrade? This is a wonderful follow-up to a major artist.

My wife and I just saw Howard Jones at EPCOT Center at WDW. Oct. 23rd, 2011. He did a great job.
